As a result
, the well-being of
children
 could suffer, but
this
 can be addressed by providing more support and changing expectations from teachers and parents. There are many reasons why

 are more stressed nowadays.
First
, the competition in modern society is fierce. With limited places at selective
schools

. Effective solutions to

schools
 and families. With respect to school, teachers should recognise the individual differences of students, respect that each student has different talents, and everyone has the potential to improve themselves.
Additionally
,
schools
 should provide mental health training and teach students how to build resilience to stress. With respect to parents, they should spend more time listening to their

 them know that their parents love them and that the family is their ultimate support. As

,
children
 would feel safer and less worried when faced with new challenges and they experience failures. In conclusion,
children
 face more stress due to the increased competition and complexity of the modern world.
However
, these conditions can be alleviated if
schools
 and families recognise individual differences and provide the necessary support and skills for upholding
children
's well-being.
