Studies have shown that the types of mental illnesses that children of different ages suffer from vary.
In childhood, psychological activities and mental development have not yet reached the mature stage, children's emotions are relatively naïve and there will be primitive behavior, can not adapt well to the external environment, and can not control their emotions and behaviors well.
At this stage, it is very sensitive to various psychological stimuli, and it is easy to have behavioral and emotional disorders, so the common mental and psychological problems in childhood are mental delays.
Adolescent children will gradually mature and the endocrine system will change greatly, but at this stage the emotions are fragile, the nervous system is unstable, and the mood fluctuates.
Emotions are also susceptible to external stimuli, which can lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurasthenia, or depression. In addition, at this stage, it is also prone to schizophrenia and emotional mental disorders.
Generally, children with mental problems will be revealed at the age of 14, but if parents do not pay enough attention to the child's mental health, resulting in these problems not being discovered in time, when the child grows up and becomes an adult, the problem will all erupt at a certain time, and then everything will be too late.
Some people say that today's children are pretentious, before every family of children are more, parents can not be completely concerned about each, and will also scold children, children are not growing up well, is now the child's psychology is too fragile.
In fact, this is precisely because the children of the past were not overly protected by their parents, so they have a strong ability to resist pressure. And in the previous environment, the way of education in each family was the same, and children who grew up in the same environment naturally did not produce psychological barriers.
Problems should be found in time and treated in time. So how can parents distinguish the signals of children's psychological abnormalities from their daily lives?
1. Parents should take half an hour or so to spend with their children every day, and accompany their children to observe their children's reactions and various behaviors.
2. Pay attention to the child's mood when he goes home after school, if he finds that the child's mood is not right, parents should ask the reason in time. Often ask about your child's situation at school and how he gets along with his classmates.
3. At night, pay attention to observing the child's sleep, whether there is difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep quality, nightmares and so on.
4. Pay attention to whether the child's academic performance is stable and whether there is a sudden large rise or fall.
5. Continue to pay attention to the child's personality development, pay attention to observe whether the child has sudden emotional changes, such as: cheerful and lively before, now taciturn and so on.
Early detection of the problem must be solved early, so that a complete cure can be achieved. The younger the child, the easier it is to adjust for psychological problems. Usually, let children develop good living habits and face some unexpected factors with a correct and positive attitude.
When parents or children find themselves with abnormal mental conditions, they should seek the help of a doctor in time to remove bad negative psychology in time. Parents can encourage their children to talk to trusted friends or family members more often, and participate in physical exercise to divert their attention and release stress.
