From the author: I hope that everyone can find something for themselves. or for those you know with small children! I recently came across a very interesting article. As a mother of 2 children, she was very interested in me. Moreover, from my own example I realized how spot on everything is written there! I would like to share it with you, dear colleagues! I am a psychologist and I know how difficult it can sometimes be to work with children, compared to motivated adults who come on their own! Children rarely understand what is happening to them, and it is even more impossible to explain to us Adults. And then psychosomatics comes to the aid of both them and us. Child psychosomatics is the entire spectrum of a child’s experiences which, due to his age, he cannot express and manifests itself precisely in frequent illnesses, hysterics and whims... It’s no secret that children get sick. But most often and most intensely it begins during the period of adaptation in the garden. Yes, of course there is such a factor that there are a lot of children, adults, a different environment, microbes…. But you must admit that now most parents, even before kindergarten, begin to take their children to children's development clubs; we have malls and super markets all the time, which we also visit with our dear and beloved children! We walk to the courtyards, also providing communication with our peers... but it is when they are left WITHOUT US in kindergartens, or start going to school, to a new team, to a new teacher, that they begin to get sick much more actively! And sometimes even for reasons that are not entirely clear to us... most parents immediately begin to treat their children, give tablets, syrups... run to doctors (and there really are viruses and microbes...) In fact, in some cases it is necessary to pay close attention to relationships in children team, family, ways of communication between a child and his peers - childhood psychosomatics is the cause of many physiological ailments. The baby simply subconsciously triggers mechanisms that lead to the occurrence of diseases. Moreover, he has learned well that during illness his mother is always next to him, pitying and caressing him, so he uses this scheme every time he begins to feel lonely. Psychosomatic causes of childhood illnesses Often a child gets sick due to lack of attention, overprotection or an unfavorable atmosphere in the family - these are the main psychosomatic sources of childhood illnesses. A child has a sore throat - he is either very offended or suffers from the inability to express his opinion. The parents of such a child often cut off his initiative, stopping him with requests to be silent, not to interfere, and do for him what he is able to do on his own. If every cold is accompanied by a cough, then this is an internal protest - the child does not want to do something, but is openly afraid object. A child whose freedom is constantly limited by prohibitions will have breathing problems - pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchial asthma. Asthma can also be a manifestation of the opposite behavior - parents literally suffocate the child with their care, and do not allow them to take a step on their own. Children attending kindergartens almost universally suffer from a chronic runny nose - this is a sign that not all is well in the team. The child tries to protect himself from situations or people who do not suit him (teachers, peers, relatives), so at home such a runny nose goes away, and recurs only when a source of irritation appears. The second reaction to life in a group is ear disease, which can also be a consequence of swearing, scandals and conversations in a raised voice that the child hears. Complaints of abdominal pain should alert parents - something is frightening the child. The baby's teeth are deteriorating - perhaps he is trying to restrain his emotions, anger or severe irritation. Skin problems - allergic dermatitis, chickenpox, the appearance of a rash and other reflections of the internal state indicate that the child is trying to establish a distance between adults and himself. The same overprotection, which manifests itself in regular touches, hugs, kisses, leads to the fact that the baby! :)
