中秋节起源于古代农耕社会对月亮的祭祀，有悠久的历史。据史籍记载，“中秋”一词最早出现在《周礼》一书中。到魏晋时，有“谕尚书镇牛淆，中秋夕与左右微服泛江”的记载。直到唐朝初年，中秋节才成为固定的节日。中秋节的习俗丰富多彩，包括赏月、吃月饼、赏桂花、猜灯谜等。其中，赏月和吃月饼是最具代表性的传统习俗。

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a significant and traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. This festival typically falls in September or early October in the Gregorian calendar and is one of the most important and beloved festivals in Chinese culture.

一缕秋风吹散夏日的炙热气息，对于FP新生而言，“开学蜜月期”因开始新的发展阶段而有的期待、好奇和兴奋感觉即将慢慢消退，取而代之的是，高中学习生活可能带来的压力。我们深知适应新环境的不容易，这过程当中，新生可能会遇到学习、英语能力提升、人际关系调整等各议题。以下将与家长分享＂如何在子女的学生生活适应上提供有效支持＂的建议。

A gentle autumn breeze dispels the scorching heat of summer. For FP students, the initial 'honeymoon period' of starting school, brimming with curiosity and excitement about embracing a new school environment, getting acquainted with new teachers, and forging new friendships, gradually begins to wane. In its place, they may start to experience the pressures that come with high school life. Adapting to a new environment is consistently a significant challenge for students at every stage of development. During this transitional phase, FP students often encounter various hurdles, encompassing academic demands, the pursuit of enhanced English proficiency, and the intricacies of interpersonal relationships. Given these considerations, we would like to offer some tips for parents on 'how to effectively support your child's adjustment to student life.'

理解是关心的第一步Understanding is the first step of caring

鼓励学生分享日常经验与感受，哪怕是生活细节也值得被重视。有时候学生的情绪并非都因重大事件而引起，更多的时候都是日常的小情绪所累积而感到的无力。因此不妨从平日开始，鼓励引导他们分享自身感受和困难，能有效避免学生不自觉的累积过多负面能量，及时在学生陷入情绪循环之前给予协助。

Encourage your child to share their daily experiences and feelings, even if it's just the minutiae of their life. Sometimes, a child's emotions are not triggered by major events but rather accumulate from everyday minor emotions. Therefore, it's a good idea to encourage them to open up about their daily feelings and challenges. This can effectively prevent your child from unconsciously accumulating too much negative energy and allow you to provide assistance before they fall into a negative emotional loop.

正向沟通乃支持之本Positive communication is the foundation of support

在此部份需要做到传递正确务实的期望，时刻表现出家长永远在学生需要的时候提供支持的意愿，并且避免对学生的困扰议题作是否值得或重要的评价；举例来说，让学生了解不管自己能力再好或是有再周全的准备，生命当中还是会经历挫折，而为生活有低落的情绪其实都是很自然的事情。

In this regard, it is crucial to communicate realistic and practical expectations and consistently demonstrate a willingness to offer support and advice when necessary. For instance, help your child understand that setbacks are a natural aspect of life, irrespective of their abilities or level of preparation, and it's perfectly normal to go through challenging periods.

寻求协助是需要勇气的Seeking help requires courage

密切关注学生的情绪、行为或人际的变化：面对新环境和新挑战，会有焦虑或不安等情绪其实是很自然的，然若低落情绪超过两周、日常作息与饮食开始有不规律的倾向，或出现人际、行为模式有突兀变化等现象，家长须及时关怀，必要时可与校内心理咨询老师沟通，以便及时给予学生帮助。

Pay close attention to changes in your child's emotions, behavior, or interpersonal relationships. Facing a new environment and new challenges can often lead to feelings of anxiety or unease, which are entirely natural. However, if feelings of sadness persist for more than two weeks, daily routines and eating habits become irregular, or there are sudden changes in interpersonal relationships or behavior patterns, parents should express concern and, if necessary, communicate with the school faculty or a psychological counselor to provide timely assistance to the student.

家长和学校之间的积极合作关系可以为学生提供更多的支持。透过结合家长和校方人员的观察可以更切实地了解学生可能面临到的困境，有助于在必要时成功地协商个性化的支持计划，并确保提供适当的支持和资源，帮助学生充分发挥潜力。

A positive partnership between parents and the school can provide greater support for students. By combining the observations of parents and school staff, a deeper understanding of the challenges a student may encounter can be achieved. This enables the successful negotiation of individualized support plans when necessary and ensures that the appropriate support and resources are available to help students reach their full potential.
