Don't go out for a long time and can only take online classes when studying. In this state of life, some children and adolescents experience anxiety, rebellion, depression, and loss of interest. Child psychology experts said that during the special period of long-term home stay, parents should pay close attention to their children's mental health and use the right methods to promptly relieve bad emotions.
Wei Hua, deputy chief physician of the Department of Pediatrics and Insurance at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University, said that as a child psychologist and a mother, she felt deeply touched. Because her children also study at home, she faces the same challenges as many parents, such as their children's unstable home learning status, lack of concentration in online classes, poor self-control, unstable emotions, resistant to parents, and unstable life. Some children may also be addicted to electronic products and online games. Why do these problems occur in
? Wei Hua said that staying at home for a long time is a change compared to the normal lifestyle, disrupting the inherent life state and rhythm. So in this case, parents have a lot of anxiety about their children's learning and living conditions. In addition to studying, children often feel bored if they spend less time going out and interacting with children of the same age. Therefore, whether for parents or children, it may be more likely to develop some anxiety and irritability at this stage, and the parent-child relationship and family atmosphere will become more tense.
Experts said that staying at home for a long time is a challenge for the whole family, but we must also see its positive side: this is a rare parent-child time. Parents can use the opportunity to spend time together to discover their children's inner needs. Finding the right method can make their children stay at home happily and bring them closer together.
