When children are born, they are like a piece of pure white paper. As they grow up, their parents\’ education methods and attitudes affect their personality characteristics, including their personality. Some children have been confident since childhood, but some children have become increasingly inferior. Children have obvious symptoms of inferiority complex. Ms. Shen’s child has reached kindergarten age this year. Before sending her child to kindergarten, Ms. Shen said to her child: “Aunt Zhang’s son is great in kindergarten and is often praised by the teacher. , you also have to be great, you know?” The child responded: “I don’t want to compare with him.” After entering kindergarten for a while, the teacher privately told Ms. Shen that her child often disagreed in school. Everyone plays together and is not willing to participate in any activities. At first, Ms. Shen thought that the child was just afraid of strangers, but after one semester, this situation still did not change. So Ms. Shen asked the child why he was unwilling to participate in class activities, and the child said hesitantly: \”I\’m afraid I will be laughed at if I don\’t do well.\” Then Ms. Shen asked the child why he didn\’t play with the children. , and the child replied: \”What if they don\’t like me?\” After listening to the child\’s words, Ms. Shen realized that the child had some inferiority complex. These three mantras explain the \”inferiority\” in children\’s hearts: 1. \”I don\’t want to compare with him.\” Every child will be competitive and they are unwilling to lose to others. And if parents compare their children with other people\’s children, children with low self-esteem will often say: \”I don\’t want to compare with them.\” In fact, this is not that the child does not want to compare with others, but that the child feels that he is inferior to others. 2. \”I\’m afraid I can\’t do well.\” When children always emphasize \”I\’m afraid I can\’t do well\” before doing something, this is actually a manifestation of the child\’s inner inferiority. They are unwilling to believe in their abilities and often You will feel that you \”can\’t do it\”, so you will engage in self-doubt and self-denial before taking action. 3. \”What if they don\’t like me?\” Children with low self-esteem are often very passive in the process of interpersonal communication, so they often use \”What if they don\’t like me\” as a mantra. In fact, such children are eager to be close to others, but at the same time they are worried that they will not be recognized by others. Therefore, parents should pay more attention when their children say such a mantra. Parents should not ignore children\’s \”low self-esteem\”. Children\’s inner \”low self-esteem\” will have certain adverse effects on their growth. For example, children will appear hesitant in the face of opportunities, which will lead to children missing opportunities. In terms of interpersonal communication, children are unwilling to take the initiative to communicate with others, and they do not know how to express themselves. Therefore, if a child shows \”low self-esteem\”, parents should not take it seriously. As children grow up, parents should learn to encourage and affirm their children more. Studies have shown that encouragement can enhance children\’s self-confidence and courage. When parents encourage and affirm their children, they should not care too much about the results. Even if they still fail, their hard work deserves recognition. In addition, parents should not always compare between children. Each child has its own advantages and disadvantages.What parents have to do is to discover the shining points of their children and let them realize their own strengths, so that they can slowly become more confident. Every parent hopes that their children will be confident enough, and self-confidence is related to the child\’s future. This requires parents to avoid factors that affect their children\’s self-confidence and train and educate their children from an early age.
