As parents, we always want the best for our children, but sometimes we lose sight of their innermost calling. In the face of many mistakes and bad habits of our children, do we think about other things besides anger and punishment? Why do children do this? Is it really a personality problem? Or are we, as parents, not taking the lead and not discovering carefully?
In fact, everything has a clue, and the same is true for children's problems.
Today, let's walk into the inner world of children, deeply analyze those common psychological problems, and find solutions to make our parenting road smoother.
Children have these ten behaviors, indicating that psychological problems are prone to occur, and parents need to pay attention to them!
(1) Children always like to disturb you
When you are concentrating on work, your child will suddenly come up to you and ask you a bunch of questions, and when you want to take a break, your child will pester you to play with him.
These seemingly insignificant things may hide the child's inner desires and uneasiness.
Reason: Because the child feels that he is not valued
The younger the child, the more important the parents, and they crave the attention and companionship of their parents.
But the reality is too cruel, parents work hard in order to live, and they can only sacrifice time with their children.
At this time, the child will seek attention by disturbing you, trying to fill the emptiness and anxiety inside.
Solution: Give them enough love and companionship, even if they can't do it, try to explain the reason to them, so that they feel that our love has not diminished.
At the same time, we can also set a dedicated parent-child time to do something meaningful with our children to enhance the parent-child relationship.
(2) Children love to lie
Reason: Because you overreacted after he made a mistake before
When a child makes a mistake, if we criticize or punish them too harshly, the child may choose to lie for fear of taking responsibility.
They are afraid to face our anger and disappointment, so they choose to use lies to escape punishment.
The solution: Create an atmosphere of trust and avoid excessive punishment. When your child tells the truth, give affirmation and encouragement instead of focusing only on mistakes.
Therefore, when a child lies, we need to be calm and reasonable.
First, we need to understand why the child is lying, whether it is because of the fear of punishment or the desire for some kind of benefit.
Then, we need to guide children to recognize their mistakes in an understanding and tolerant manner, and encourage them to take responsibility.
At the same time, we need to teach our children the importance of honesty and understand that honesty is the foundation of trust and good relationships.
(3) Children are shy from doing things
Reason: Because you give your child too much advice and too little encouragement
When a child tries something new, we may be constantly making various suggestions to try to help them do better.
However, such practices often make children feel that they are not meeting our expectations, which can lead to frustration and lack of confidence.
The solution: reduce the instructive suggestions and increase the encouragement and appreciation. Celebrate your child's small achievements and make them feel worth and competent.
We can give our children some guidance and support when they are struggling, but we also need to teach them to think independently and solve problems.
At the same time, we also need to give more positive feedback and encouragement to children, so that they can feel their progress and achievements, so as to enhance their self-confidence.
(4) Children dare not fight for themselves first
Reason: Because you always lecture him in public
When we criticize our children in public, it can make them feel inferior and timid, so that they are afraid to show themselves in competition.
Solution: Avoid criticizing your child in front of others and communicate privately instead. Publicly praise your child's strengths and boost their self-esteem and courage.
We need to respect children's individuality and differences, and not overemphasize competition and ranking.
When children make progress, we need to give them timely recognition and encouragement, and when they encounter difficulties, we need to give them support and help.
At the same time, we also need to teach children to face failures and setbacks correctly, so that they understand that failure is not terrible, and the important thing is to learn from failure and continue to work hard.
(5) If you buy everything for your child, he will take other people's things
Reason: Because you never let him choose
When children don't have a choice, they may meet their own needs by taking something from someone else.
This behavior is not because of their lack of materialism, but because they crave autonomy and a sense of control.
Workaround: Involve your child in the decision-making process, such as choosing toys or clothes. Teach them to make responsible choices and be aware of consequences.
When a child wants to buy something, we can let them make their own decisions and bear the consequences.
At the same time, we also need to teach our children to respect the property and rights of others, and make them understand that taking other people's things is immoral.
(6) The child is very timid
Reason: Because you helped him too much
When a child is struggling, we tend to reach out immediately and try to help them solve the problem.
However, while this approach avoids difficulties for children in the short term, it deprives them of the opportunity to exercise their abilities.
In the long run, children will become more and more dependent on us and lack the ability to solve problems independently.
Solution: Encourage independent attempts and problem-solving. Set moderate challenges for your child so that they learn to be brave and confident in their attempts.
We need to learn to let go appropriately and let our children face and solve problems on their own. We can give our children some guidance and support when they are struggling, but we also need to teach them to think independently and solve problems.
In this way, the child can gradually become brave and confident.
(7) The child is too jealous
Reason: Because you always compare him to others
When a child's jealousy is excessive, they may develop excessive jealousy and resentment towards the good performance of their peers or the items they have, which can not only affect their mental health but also negatively affect relationships.
A child's jealousy is largely due to the fact that we always compare him to others.
Many parents may unconsciously mention the strengths or achievements of other children in the hope of motivating their children to improve.
However, such practices tend to make children feel inferior and uneasy, which can lead to a strong sense of jealousy.
Solution: Stop comparing yourself to others and emphasize the importance of personal progress and effort. Cultivate in children to appreciate the uniqueness of themselves and others.
Every child has their own strengths and strengths, and we should pay attention to their growth process and give positive affirmation and encouragement.
At the same time, we also need to teach children to look at the success and excellence of others correctly, so that they can understand that everyone has their own shining point, and learn to learn from others' experiences and lessons, rather than simply being jealous and complaining.
(8) Children get angry easily
Reason: Because you must have too little for him, and too much dissatisfaction in his heart
When a child's needs are not met or frustrated, they may feel frustrated and angry.
If we don't give them enough love and understanding in time, their emotions can get out of control.
Solution: Express love and affirmation for your child often. Teach children healthy emotional expressions, such as using words to express dissatisfaction instead of anger.
We need to praise and reward our children when they make progress, and support and help them when they are struggling.
At the same time, we also need to teach children to express and manage their emotions correctly, so that they can learn to face the challenges and difficulties in life in a positive way.
(9) The child does not care about the feelings of others
Reason: Because you always command him and never care about his feelings
When we treat children in a commanding and coercive way, they may feel neglected and disrespected, thus learning to treat others in the same way.
Solution: Lead by example and respect your child's opinions and feelings. Teach children to be empathetic and considerate of the feelings and needs of others.
When communicating with children, we need to listen to their opinions and ideas and give them enough space to express themselves.
At the same time, we also need to teach children to care for others, respect their feelings, and let them understand that the relationship between people is mutual, and mutual understanding and support are needed.
(10) The child has violent tendencies
Reason: Because he is imitating the adults who live together
If we exhibit violent or aggressive behavior in our daily lives, children are likely to imitate and apply it to their own lives.
In addition, children may also exhibit violent behavior because they are frustrated, stressed, or emotionally out of control.
Solution: Review the home environment to ensure that interactions between adults are respectful and understanding. Teach children to resolve conflicts with words rather than violence.
We need to lead by example, set a good example of behavior, treat children and problems in life in a calm and rational manner, and avoid using violent or offensive language and behavior.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to children's emotional changes and behavioral performance, and detect and correct their bad behaviors in time.
If your child's violent tendencies are severe, we need to seek help from a professional counselor in time to better solve the problem.
Every child is a unique piece of the sky, and we, as parents, are the guardians of those stars.
Understanding children's psychological state can not only help them overcome the difficulties in their growth, but also guide them to become caring, confident and responsible people.
As parents, we need to listen patiently, observe carefully, and guide them to grow with love and wisdom.
Only in this way can we raise healthy, happy, confident children who will shine in their future lives.
