The issue of raising children and taking care of their psychological and mental health will remain one of the most important topics that should be at the forefront of all national, educational and cultural agendas. Given the weak awareness, the fragility of many educational systems, and the absence of effective educational activities, most parents deal with their children in the same ways that their parents have used for decades. The father insists that his son achieve first place in the exams, and he must outperform his peers, especially his cousins and relatives. In this field, but the pressure of mothers continues to the extent that some children have died due to a drop in blood circulation due to excessive pressure from the trainer or other health reasons.
The greatest calamity is the failure of students in high school, which has become a “terrification” for children and an obsession with them, as if not enrolling in a particular college is the end of the world, or that failing in high school is the end of the day.
I hope that the parents stand with themselves for a few moments and reconsider the way they deal with the way they deal with the children, especially if the children have done their best and did not spare any effort in accomplishing what must be accomplished.
Mishandling is not limited to exam results only, but its seed is planted in the early stages of life, where children are reprimanded for making mistakes that naturally occur, such as breaking or damaging anything or forgetting certain instructions, and other things that happen on a daily basis. The actions we do as parents, which may seem simple from our point of view, are seen by the child through other eyes. Just raising the tone of voice may intimidate the child and lose focus, and may undermine his confidence if this continues.
Verbal violence causes many psychological scars that time may not erase, let alone physical violence and other types of non-educational punishment that are constantly repeated.
Many parents call their children “stupid,” “retarded,” and “dull.”
Yesterday, a student who had a lower than expected average in high school told that her father was telling her sister to come out of her room and sit with them and not sit with that “failed” sister, as he described it.
Our understanding of our children and acceptance of their academic level and behavioral errors and help them gain self-confidence and raise their morale, which helps to build a healthy society free of psychological deposits, it is very important and necessary for parents to give their children a “safe” space for error and learning, as learning from mistakes is one of the The most effective type of learning.
I hope that parents educate themselves by attending awareness sessions in raising children, provided that they are provided by specialized bodies and persons who are academically and practically qualified. .
