Children are innocent, love life, and are always happy. Therefore, if you notice any unusual signs in your child, you should not ignore them, but observe and share.
Many parents are busy with work, friends, life... and forget to share and confide in their children. As children grow older, they will face more problems. There are things that adults consider trivial but are very important to children.
In fact, there are 3 signs in children that people need to pay attention to, otherwise they are very susceptible to mental illness, and when discovered, it is very difficult to treat. Children are really young, their psychology is very vulnerable, just a small thing is enough to make them afraid.
If at any time, parents do not care about their children's emotions, they may develop mental illness. Below are the 3 signs that need the most attention!
sudden loss of appetite
Growing children usually love to eat, so when they don’t want to eat, there is definitely something wrong with their mentality. Is it because they are sick or not feeling well that they don’t want to eat?
Besides that, if parents see that their child is healthy but does not eat, then their psychology is definitely in trouble. Even adults, when they are stressed or upset, do not want to swallow anything, let alone children.
So, if this happens, parents need to check their health first, then try changing the eating environment to see how it goes. If that doesn't work, take your child to the hospital for a check-up.
Cry easily, irritable, not satisfied with everything
A child who is happy and laughing every day suddenly cries easily and shows attitude towards people around him/her, it is very possible that he/she is having some problem.
Children also behave aggressively with friends, younger children, or even with parents, grandparents, and other relatives around them, without realizing that this behavior is not good. Many children with emotional and behavioral disorders also have excessively aggressive behavior toward objects or animals.
Parents need to pay attention to the above signs, from children being irritable, moving around a lot, unable to concentrate, talking a lot or talking very little... If not cared for by parents, children may show signs of excessive fatigue, low self-esteem, and depression.
The best solution is to find a way to talk and communicate with your child when you see them doing this often. You need to listen and understand what they want and take them out for a walk to reduce the fear they feel.
Avoid, hesitate to share with parents
Many parents are confused when their children suddenly avoid and do not want to share or talk to them. It is very possible that their children are having problems at school, with teachers or friends that they do not want to talk about. At this time, what parents need to do is listen, communicate gently, and always tell their children that "mom and dad will be here to hear everything from you".
However, many parents do not realize that the problem lies at the core of the family. Parents suddenly quarrel endlessly, letting negative emotions affect the children, which can easily hurt the children. In addition, parents who always think they are the best, do not pay attention to the children's feelings, ignore their children's voices, and constantly talk about problems that make their children feel worse, also make the children uncomfortable.
In particular, when parents break their promise and share something that their children consider a secret and don't want to tell anyone, it will make children sad and afraid to share and confide in their parents anymore.
Sometimes, just a few small signs in children can reveal that they are having psychological problems. Parents should not ignore them but observe, learn, and listen to their children's stories.
