Modern children, for the most part, are provided with everything they need to be happy. But neuroses are still the most common neuropsychic problems.
The source of neurosis is often the family, but the trigger is the school. Because parents really want to see their child successful. This creates unnecessary pressure on the child, a burden, and often deprives the parents of the choice they make for the child. Very high demands are placed on children, when parents forget that the child is not their property and has its own interests and characteristics.
The more responsible the child, the higher the risk of neurosis. Most often it manifests itself in the form of tics: this is frequent twitching of the limbs, blinking, coughing, blinking nose, pulling clothes, etc. A neurosis can have several manifestations at once. He can also develop into an obsessive state and habit, which is not so easy to get rid of and which causes discomfort to others.
It is useless to scold a child for such behavior, because it will only increase the manifestation of neurosis, shame and fear.
Among other things, neurosis can be accompanied by disturbed sleep and appetite, gastrointestinal tract work, aggression and auto-aggression, sweating, constant fatigue.
Among the psychological manifestations are also: tantrums, various fears, mood swings, hypochondria, resentment and suspiciousness, suicidal moods, depression.
These alarming signs should be treated carefully, because the "it will pass by itself" scheme often does not work if nothing changes in the child's life. It is worth revising his workload, the emotional atmosphere in the family, the principles of communication with the child. You also need to check it for real diseases.
Neurosis is created by resentment, anger, fears. To cope with them, you need a clear daily routine in which there is enough rest, as well as hobbies, hobbies, sports. If you cannot cope with the neurosis on your own, you need to contact a family psychologist.
