"In your cognition, what does a 4-year-old look like?"
The scene that most people can think of is sleepy when they are sleepy, play when they wake up, eat when they are hungry, laugh when they are happy, cry when they are unhappy, don't have so many worries and unhappiness, and live carefree every day.
But is this really the case? Perhaps children are far more thoughtful and sensitive than adults imagine.
A 4-year-old child in Zhengzhou, Henan Province has become depressed recently and does not communicate with others. The parents thought the child was sick, but after going to the hospital for examination, they found that all indicators were normal. Later, the parents consulted a psychologist. After some communication, the child told the psychologist about the family changes he had heard from his parents. He was very worried, but he did not dare to tell his parents. He could only hold it in his heart and suffered from depression.
To help the child open the knot, the doctor suggested that parents can act in a scene where things can be solved. As a result, the child gradually relaxed after listening to it, and his personality gradually returned to lively and cheerful.
Seeing this news, I believe many people will find it incredible and think it is hype. How could a 4-year-old child have such deep thoughts? How could you be depressed about this?
At the age of four or five, you are indeed a simple mind. You don’t understand many things and don’t care about them. However, you are very sensitive to parents’ attitudes and behaviors. You can gain a sense of security and happiness in a harmonious atmosphere, and you can also be anxious in a depressed atmosphere.
This is why there is a view in psychology that "human personality is closely related to the original family"
According to the relevant survey data of the "2022 National Depression Blue Book", the current prevalence of teenage depression is 15%-20%, which means that one in every 5-6 teenagers will suffer from depression . For teenagers with depression, family environmental factors are the primary factor that makes them depressed.
So here we also remind parents that they should pay more attention to their words, deeds and attitudes in their daily lives, especially for children who are more sensitive to their minds, they should take more active guidance in their daily lives to avoid affecting their physical and mental health.
In addition, I would like to add one thing about depression here. The current incidence of depression in society is getting higher and higher, and pathological depression is only a small part. More than 70% of people have depression and social and psychological factors!
Common social factors include:
1, native family
Parents have a bad relationship, parents divorce or lack of care for themselves due to busy work, poor family atmosphere, major changes, etc. These accumulated dissatisfaction and disappointment in the heart have become the deep trigger for depression!
2. Negative events stimulate
Relatives’ death, love break, marriage change, parent-child relationship, career development, etc., major changes have occurred, which bring great changes to your life, and they suffer psychological trauma or excessive pressure.
3. Character factors
Some people are naturally introverted and sensitive, like to think more when encountering things, are taciturn, are not good at socializing and can't talk, everything is suppressed in the heart and cannot be relieved, and it is easy to develop into psychological problems such as depression and anxiety!
