My mother raised a bully son for 20 years, and finally was forced to become a depressed patient, and I realized it after reading it

Educating children is a matter of method and skill
If parents want their children's future to be more colorful, they must not raise children in the "fish tank"
- Caption
The night before, I had put the child to sleep and was preparing to clean up and read a book
Unexpectedly, my cousin sent a video request
As soon as I answered, there was a depressed face across me, and I didn't wait to speak
My cousin said
"Sister, I'm depressed, I feel so bad, I'm really not a good mother"
My cousin is usually very confident and strong, so I am a little worried about this
So I quickly asked her what was wrong
As a result, she told me that recently her son knife has been very disgusted with going to school, and she initially thought that her son was adolescence
So after a few simple criticisms, he didn't care about him anymore
Unexpectedly, that day, his son cut his wrist with a knife and told her that he did not want to live
As a result, the next day I went to the pediatric psychiatric department of the hospital to see her, and the doctor told her directly
"The child is moderately depressed"
Indeed, there are more and more cases of adolescent depression in modern society
The famous psychologist Chen Mo even asserted that in the future society, parents are likely to be the first words to meet
"Is your child depressed?"
According to its 30 years of clinical psychological experiments, it was also found
Among depressed adolescents, there are often more children who are both good at character and learning
So, why is it that the more excellent children are, the more likely they are to get depression? How should parents respond?
Today I will share two stories with you, and I hope to inspire you
01
The first story
The son who has worked hard to cultivate for many years has finally become a depressed person
Nannan's parents can be said to be puzzled
They couldn't figure out why their son was suffering from depression.
For her parents, Nannan has been good at both learning and learning since she was a child
It is the "other people's child" that everyone praises, and the proper university bully
Not only do they have good academic performance, but they have also participated in many provincial and municipal campus competitions and won numerous awards
In addition, as the class leader, he has a very good relationship with his classmates
But it was such a child
However, when he lost a competition, because the program he had been rehearsing for a long time was not selected, he suddenly became emotionally broken
After returning home, he locked himself in the bathroom, shouted and screamed, and even self-harmed behavior
A small blow that made it so difficult for the child to accept
Nannan's parents can be said to be frightened, so the next day, they took the child to the doctor
Unexpectedly, after some testing, the psychologist directly informed them
The child suffers from depression
Faced with this result, the husband and wife froze for a while
They couldn't believe that such a good and independent child could get this disease
And with the deepening of the treatment, they found that everything had already been forgotten
And they're the culprits
Nannan's mother is a very competitive woman, after having a son
She also always wants her children to be her pride
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, nannan is very strictly controlled
What to eat, what to wear, what hairstyle to cut, you have to do it according to your mother's ideas
Even when writing homework at home, her mother will not let Nannan close the door, and she must always stare at him
What's even more excessive is that even if he makes friends, his mother has to intervene
Many times, he deleted his friends from his phone
It was because she thought the child was bad
This kind of control and discipline of her mother made Nannan feel suffocated the more she grew up
But as long as he resisted a little, his mother would say
"I'm not here for your own good"
Seeing that the resistance was ineffective, Nannan became more and more closed to himself, and over time, his depression became more and more serious
02
The second story
The protagonist of this story is a girl named Xiaoyi
XiaoYi's family is ordinary, and her parents' culture is not high
Because of this, they are very tight to their daughter's education, and they pin all their hopes on their daughters
In elementary school, in order to exercise her English listening
Even though she was tired enough to cry and doze off, her parents would still hold her and let her continue
She did not do well in math, but her mother reported her to the Olympiad of the extraordinary class
She couldn't learn, and her mother called her stupid
In the last year of primary school, he enrolled her in five training classes in one go
But 24 hours a day, she didn't have any rest
After waiting for junior high and high school, many interest class tutoring classes were gone, but her parents had more strict control over her
Every day, just doing exercises can do one o'clock in the morning
Under this kind of education method of her parents, Xiaoyi is also among the best since she was a child
But mom and dad only want her to be first, and as long as she falls, her parents will scold her for garbage
In this way, the child became more and more unhappy
Even as early as the second year of junior high school, suicidal thoughts occurred
For years, she had been using self-harm to vent her depression until her parents noticed it all
Xiao Yi is already severely depressed

Raising children in the "fish tank" is the worst education for children
Looking at the depressed experiences of the two academics, it is not difficult for us to draw such a conclusion
Behind the problem of children is the problem of parents' education methods
Parents who like to control their children often backfire on their children
I believe everyone has heard of the "fish tank effect"
The so-called fish tank effect refers to the three-inch long tropical goldfish raised in a tight fish tank
No matter how much you take care of it, how much fish food you feed
Eventually, it won't grow up, and when the tank breaks down and the goldfish are raised in the pool, even if you don't take care of it so carefully, the fish will grow up quickly
In fact, raising children is the same as raising goldfish
If you only know how to bind the child, control and suppress the child
Then the child will definitely not grow up, and will even be "raised" because of suffocation.
Instead, if you are able to give the child enough space and the right to make their own choices
Then the child will grow faster, better, and healthier
I know that there is such a problem on the Internet
"What is it like to be completely controlled by your parents?"
One of the highest praises replied
"For nineteen years, I have always felt that I am a "puppet" of my parents, a "vassal" of their lives, I have never lived for myself, and I do not know what the self is, maybe at the beginning I resisted, but after a long time, it does not matter, but I am still very painful, and even more and more feel that it is not interesting to live, often want to commit suicide, more want to know if they are dead, will they regret a little"
Nineteen years old, it is the time of youth
But the child was filled with despair
People have to sigh that the control of parents is really the biggest disaster for children
Psychologist Bai Yanyi believes that the endless control of parents is actually a kind of "violence"
This kind of violence is usually done in the name of love, but in fact it does things that hurt the child
As parents, we must not raise children in fish tanks
Don't let your love become a big knife to swing at your child!
04
Learn to let go and be a child's "smasher"
The meaning of this sentence is that educating children is a long-distance running race
As a parent, don't just look at the scores and grades of the moment, and don't confine your children to the "fish tank" that is forced to be imprisoned
Use your vision and insight
Help children open their horizons in life and guide them to pursue a broader world
Learning to let go is the best love and education for parents for their children
A young sister after the 90s, since she was a child, she has studied classical music under the arrangement of her mother
Practicing guzheng performance, but the more the mother disciplined, the more painful the little sister became
In the face of the child's resistance, the mother did not give in, and even used force many times in order to make the little sister submit
Either pour coffee on the guzheng or pick up a kitchen knife and cut the piano board
As a result, the mother's actions also provoked the child's rebellion, and the two once made a very ugly quarrel, and neither of them let the other
Seeing her daughter's education like this, this mother probably suddenly figured it out
Since then, he has let go of the little sister, and has never interfered in the child's learning, but has chosen to study on his own
In this way, the mother and daughter gradually resumed their relationship
Without the control of her mother, the little sister gradually found the real interest, and after graduating from high school, she reported to the Academy of Fine Arts
Unfortunately, however, she did not pass
After that, she fell in love with "ceramics" again, year after year, no matter what she chose, her mother just silently encouraged her and supported her
In the end, the younger sister became a pottery teacher. He worked at the Jingcai Porcelain Museum in the "First Kiln of Beijing"
The whole person is very confident and optimistic, and has an opinion
Parents with real emotional intelligence should understand this truth
Fish in the fish tank, they are trapped in shallow water; if they are released into the ocean, the deep sea is not afraid.
As a parent, you must stand tall, see far, and plan for your child's future
At the same time, we must also know how to let go in a timely manner and be the "smasher" of the child.
Let them bravely ride the wind and waves towards their own ocean world!
