Preparing your Child for University 如何帮助孩子为大学做好准备
Last week Monday, the Yew Chung International School of Beijing held the first of many UGC Parent Workshops. The purpose of the workshop was to equip parents with resources and skills to support their children in preparation for university. Getting into an esteemed university is not only the responsibility and desire of many students, but their teachers and, most importantly, parents hope to see their children accepted to some of the world’s top universities.
上周一，北京耀中国际学校举行了首次大学升学指导家长工作坊。工作坊的目的是为学生家长提供资源和技能，以帮助他们的子女为上大学做好准备。考入一所享誉盛名的大学不仅是许多学生，更是他们老师的责任和愿望，最重要的是，家长希望看到他们的孩子被世界顶尖大学录取。
The workshop was proof that it is never too early to prepare for your child’s university journey, as not only Secondary School parents were in attendance, but also parents with children still in Kindergarten and Primary School. During the workshop, parents received tips from our University Guidance Counselor, Jonathan Mellen and John Yi Liu, Regional Coordinator of all the YCIS and YWIES UGOs.
工作坊证明，越早为孩子的大学之旅做准备越好，其中不仅有中学部的家长参加，还有幼儿园和小学部的家长。在工作坊中，家长们从我们的大学升学顾问Jonathan Mellen和耀中及耀华大学升学指导区域协调主任John Yi Liu那里得到了一些建议。
Parents play an important role not only providing basic daily support to their children, but the academic, social and emotional support is as imperative.
家长不仅在为孩子提供基本的日常生活支持方面发挥着重要作用，而且在学业、社交和情感上的支持也是必不可少的。
这些是家长在不同领域支持孩子的方式。
Academically: Parents should at all times keep abreast with their children’s interests, strengths and weaknesses academically. A way of doing this can be by keeping constant contact with teachers and tutors. It is also important for parents to ensure good grades in core subjects are maintained.
学业方面:家长应随时了解孩子的兴趣、优点和缺点，一种方法是与老师和辅导员保持经常的联系。家长确保孩子在核心科目取得好成绩也很重要。
Socially: Because we are all part of a bigger social community. Parents are advised to encourage their children to think beyond themselves. Introducing the concept of global citizenship from a young age is vital as it prepares your child for a diverse larger community outside of theirs. “The universities are looking for global citizens with 21st-century skills that have clear goals that help society to develop.” said Jonathan.
社交方面:因为我们都是社会群体的成员，建议家长鼓励孩子站在更高的角度思考问题。在孩子小时候就向其灌输全球公民的概念是非常重要的，因为这可以让你的孩子为他们生活圈子之外的更大的多元文化社区做好准备。“大学青睐于招收具有21世纪技能的全球公民，因为他们有明确的帮助社会发展的目标。” Jonathan说。
Emotionally: How students handle different situations depends mainly on their emotional intelligence, a trait parents can play a role in developing. Ways in which parents can do this is by teaching your child to reflect on their emotions from a young age and teaching them to manage stressful situations. But most importantly, parents should monitor their children’s behavior.
情感方面:学生如何处理不同的情况主要取决于他们的情商，有关这个特质家长可以在孩子的成长中发挥作用。做到这一点的方法是教你的孩子从很小的时候就反思他们的情绪，并教他们在压力下处理问题。但最重要的是，家长应该监控孩子的行为。
