HEALTH TALK: “ADDRESSING COMMON ISSUES IN CHILDREN AGED 11–18” AT BRITISH VIETNAMESE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (BVIS) HCMC

10/04/2026

Continuing a series of meaningful health seminars at British Vietnamese International School (BVIS) HCMC, on the morning of April 8, 2026, American International Hospital (AIH) collaborated to organize the seminar “Addressing Common Issues in Children Aged 11–18”, delivering practical insights to more than 70 parents of adolescents.

At the event, Dr. Ngo Vu Bich Ngoc, Specialist Level I – Pediatrics Department, American International Hospital (AIH), provided parents with a comprehensive understanding of key characteristics of adolescence, including physical development, psychological changes, and the “asynchronous” brain development that often leads to impulsivity, heightened sensitivity, and challenges in emotional regulation.

The session also highlighted common issues faced by teenagers today, including:

  • Academic pressure and performance comparison

  • Excessive use of electronic devices and social media

  • Emotional changes: anxiety and depression

  • Peer relationships and bullying

  • Risky behaviors, including substance use

  • Sex education and reproductive health

Beyond identifying these challenges, parents were guided on effective approaches: listening without judgment – providing appropriate support – and leading by example. These are considered key factors in strengthening parent-child connection and supporting adolescents through this critical stage.

The interactive Q&A session also gave parents the opportunity to share real-life concerns and receive direct advice from the doctor.
AIH believes that when parents understand – listen – and accompany, children can build a strong foundation for holistic development, both physically and mentally, during adolescence.
