Child rearing
Raising children is a big and difficult responsibility. Where parents lose the compass of guiding children at any moment with wrong behavior that they do not realize the consequences of, but it is imprinted on the child's personality, which is still in the formation stage, and it will continue with him, perhaps throughout his life. During this article, we will talk about those cases that show early signs of personality weakness that can be simply noticed in children.
Signs of a child's personality weakness
- The child's inability to refuse orders addressed to him, even if it would cause him grief, in addition to his inability to show or express feelings of rejection, sadness, or even joy, which is an important indicator of the child's social negativity.
- Taking into account the feelings of others by the child is required and must be rewarded for it, but exaggeration in that matter is one of the signs of personality weakness. Where it can cause the child psychological harm to himself by accepting insult or being humiliated for his inability to defend himself.
- The child avoided contact with strangers or guests, and was unable to make eye contact or respond to questions addressed to him without fear, and it could reach the point of crying when exposed to a situation in which the child is forced to deal with new people.
Reasons for the weakness of the child's personality
- Personal weakness occurs when one or both parents make comparisons between the child and other children as a matter of reprimand or even advice, so the child's psyche is greatly affected, which leads to a weakening of his resolve in general, so he does not choose toys, clothes, or even the food he prefers; As the child is not born with a weak personality, but rather that condition is formed by the accumulation of experiences that he obtains in general from the parents.
- Parents exercise excessive protection on the child, which is represented in not leaving him to explore attempts or test new experiences, so they follow him with their looks and instructions all the time and perform most of the actions on his behalf, which makes him lazy to do the simplest things, so he cannot go to the toilet alone at school or go from one place to another near it.
- Parents overestimate a child's intelligence; They expect him to perform all things perfectly, and when that does not happen, they begin to be extravagant in punishment, which is reflected in his personality in general and the feeling that he is useless, and on the contrary, many parents call their children stupid and weak, or they talk in front of them about their personal failure and their feeling of frustration This condition is then transmitted to the child and continues with him for the rest of his life.
