As we all know, in addition to innate factors, a more important part of the formation of a child\’s personality comes from the influence of the acquired environment, especially the influence of the family of origin. Every child is a carefree little angel when he is born. Children with low self-esteem are by no means formed overnight, but accumulated bit by bit in life. There is a term for families that often attack their children: \”excellent people with low self-esteem.\” Such people are undoubtedly excellent and successful in the eyes of others, but deep down they hide an inferiority complex and often deny themselves. Jiang Wen is such an \”excellent person with low self-esteem\”. Jiang Wen told two small things. One was that he was admitted to the Chinese Opera and told his mother excitedly. Her mother threw the notice aside and asked him to wash clothes. Since childhood, Jiang Wen has been trying to please his mother, hoping to gain her approval. But until his mother passed away, neither of them had a chance to reconcile, which became Jiang Wen\’s lifelong regret. An Overly Frugal Family Yunyun\’s mother is a very frugal woman. Yunyun never wore new clothes when she was a child. Her clothes were either small ones worn by her brothers and sisters, or old clothes bought by her mother from relatives. When she was in the fifth grade of elementary school, Yunyun was selected by her teacher to represent the whole class in a performance on Children\’s Day. The teacher also specially told Yunyun to dress beautifully on that day. Yunyun returned home and told her mother about the incident. Her mother said, \”Just stand on the stage for two minutes. What are you spending this money on? Just wear your sister\’s dress!\” Although her sister\’s dress was of an old style and the collar was There were still a few yellow spots that couldn\’t be washed away, but Yunyun still had the courage to wear them. Yunyun said that she would never forget the way the teacher looked at her and the ridicule of her classmates. Although Yunyun now earns money from work, she can buy the clothes she likes. However, she still has low self-esteem. Every time she goes on a blind date, she always feels like the other person is laughing at her. Those who have a crush do not dare to take a step forward because they feel that they are not worthy of the other person… Some people say that \”raising a child poor\” allows him to endure more hardships in childhood and cultivate strong perseverance and unyielding character. However, not having the right to control money since childhood not only easily leads to a character of low self-esteem, but may also lead to a wrong path due to excessive desire for money. \”Domestic violence\” in violent families, whether it is between husband and wife or between parents and children, will cause changes in the child\’s personality. A survey was conducted in the United States and found that children who have been exposed to domestic violence for a long time will develop two extreme personalities. One is to become a perpetrator, venting his pain on the victim, and finding a sense of security in the fearful eyes of others. Families that lack companionship I have a friend who is a middle school teacher. She told me the story of a boy in her class. The boy is in the first grade of junior high school. He is very withdrawn and always keeps to himself. One night, the hospital suddenly called her and told her that the boy had acute appendicitis and needed surgery, but the hospital could not contact his parents. The friend hurriedly ran over and signed the name before sending the boy to the operating room. The boy woke up and couldn\’t help crying when he saw the teacher beside the hospital bed. He said that his parents were very busy and had been doing business in other places.I haven\’t been home for two months. When he comes home every day, he either makes instant noodles or orders takeout, and no one knows he is feeling unwell. Maybe, I am not important to my parents at all. My friend was very sad after hearing this. It turned out that this young man became so withdrawn and had low self-esteem because he lacked the company of his parents. If parents accompany them too little, children will not only lose their sense of security, but also become timid because there is no one to comfort and encourage them in time. Over time, they will give up on themselves or become inferior.
