Children can help parents clean the house, go Tet shopping, wrap banh chung, or visit relatives in their hometown. Turning a Tet holiday, which should be associated with joy, into ‘extra school days’ is not a way to help children progress. In just a few short days of Tet, children cannot suddenly become much better students. According to Trang, such assignments help children practice language skills, encourage observation and emotional awareness, and also strengthen family bonds. Final-year students are under heavy exam pressure, while younger children need time to rest and fully experience the Tet atmosphere.
