From the author: Adolescent childhood is a very difficult period for children. Be more attentive to them, strange and eager for life! Have time to hear, understand, support them. And to keep... not yet from mistakes, they can be corrected... from the "road to nowhere"..... Everything in us is unknown and morning... In us it comes and goes..... In the spring rivers can be muddy... To become transparent in the fall... “... With these words, the girls stepped on the edge of the cornice... and... Strong male hands sharply threw them back onto the roof. The girls definitely woke up from the fall and pain. They suddenly clearly heard Alina’s brother, standing in front of them with a frightened face, yelling at them almost obscenely. Either from their own pain, or from the guy’s scream, it suddenly dawned on the girls that they really had almost lost their LIFE in the very prime of their youth, the LIFE that they had enjoyed so much lately and “where they finally became happy” . Frost went down their skin from the mere awareness of their action, which they themselves could not really explain. What came over them at that moment?” (excerpt from Anastasia Novykh’s book “Ezoosmos”). Children are the flowers of life! Every parent dreams of seeing their child happy, healthy, dreams of him becoming a real Person in life, with a good destiny ahead of him. Outliving your children is an unbearable burden for a person. And therefore, it primarily depends on the parents what values ​​a young member of our society lives by, what kind of person he will grow up to be, and what he will pass on to his future generations. The participation of adults is very important in the life of every child, especially during the period when psychological problems appear in his life. What should parents know first about the problem of child and adolescent suicide? And how can you reliably protect the consciousness of your children from the influence of alien destructive will? There is a widespread belief in society that suicide attempts are made only by mentally unstable people suffering from various diseases, such as schizophrenia, paranoia and other diseases of the nervous system. In fact, this is absolutely not the case. There are medical statistics from which it follows that the vast majority of suicides are committed by mentally absolutely healthy people. In addition, there is a misconception that only children and adolescents from disadvantaged families are capable of attempting suicide. However, statistics show that the vast majority of children who take this step are from apparently prosperous and intact families. What pushes children to commit suicide and what is the role of parents and teachers in preventing this? Psychologists identify many reasons that, in their opinion, can push a teenager to suicide. Among them are quarrels with peers, separation from a loved one, death of a relative, constant stressful situations and, as a result, depression, gaming addiction, drug problems, teenage pregnancy, domestic violence, and the desire to attract attention. However, it is worth emphasizing that in most cases, all of the above is not the root cause of suicidal behavior in young people, but only an additional factor. The true reason is hidden deeper than the ordinary understanding of the human psyche, human nature and his thoughts. Very often, children and adolescents come to the attention of certain people who do not have the best intentions, who are either conductors of someone else’s will, or directly generating this will, and who have knowledge that in the modern world would be called “black magic.” The unconscious guides of such “non-humans” can be anyone: the closest friends and girlfriends, teachers or casual acquaintances, leaders of creative circles, religious or public organizations and movements. The main motivation, as a rule, is of an aggressive nature, based on material attitudes or distorted ideas about spiritual things. The generators of this will in attempts to drive a teenager or child to suicide, introducing into himconsciousness, obsessive thoughts that are alien to it, are capable of suppressing a person’s will and briefly controlling his actions by the effort of his thoughts. But this happens only when a person opens the front door for them with his aggression, negative thoughts or desires, gives free rein to bad thoughts, thus letting foreign thoughts into his consciousness. Often, tragedy can be avoided if parents are aware of the possible source of obsessive thoughts in child, expanding your own knowledge on this issue and explaining this to the child. On this path, first of all, it is worth discarding the imposed stereotypes and approaching the study of this issue with the interest of a real researcher. After all, ultimately, the acquired knowledge can save the life of your child. A lot depends on you as a parent! It is worth paying special attention to the following factors that indicate that there is a possibility of child or adolescent suicide: • The child’s conversations about suicide, unhealthy fantasies on this topic, focusing on episodes of suicide in films, the press . • The child has access to literature (books, brochures, CDs) about suicide, viewing relevant information on the Internet. • Child's attempts to be alone. The desire for loneliness and refusal to communicate do not always indicate a predisposition to suicide, but may indicate a child’s moral discomfort. • The child’s conversations and thoughts that absolutely no one needs him, that if he disappears, no one will look for him or even notice his absence. Under no circumstances should you ignore such statements or make fun of them. Try to find out the reason for this mood and convince the child otherwise with your parental love and attention. • Sometimes music or pictures can serve as a signal to parents that something is wrong in the child’s mind, that depressive thoughts (“an open door”) dominate in him, despite his cheerfulness. • The child’s carefully disguised attempts to say goodbye to you - unusual conversations about his love for you, attempts to finish all his “important” things as quickly as possible. • Giving away your favorite and most valuable things to friends with whom he has never parted before (unless your child does this all the time with good intentions). If you notice anything alarming or alarming in your child’s behavior, try first control yourself, understand your own thoughts and actions, and then talk with your child in a calm state. Create harmony and healthy dialogue in the family. Your inner calm and switching to positive thoughts can protect the child and switch his dominant in consciousness. After all, the connection between you and your children, invisible to the ordinary eye, always exists, the child takes the example of his parents, and parental love is capable of much! When coping with this primary task, try to spend almost all the time next to the child (visit with him various cultural events, a zoo, a circus, children's performances, concerts, go to nature, etc., so that the child can change the environment and be able to escape from thoughts) until you are firmly convinced that his suicidal mood has disappeared without a trace. The main thing is not to leave him alone and, even at night, if possible, keep a watch at his bedside. Try to distract his attention from obsessive thoughts by doing ordinary household or garden work, let him feel your care, warmth and love. As V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “Genuine education is unthinkable without life in the world of work. Work is the basis of moral, aesthetic, and emotional education." In the same case, if a child allows himself more serious threats, for example, such as: “I will cut my wrists” or “I will jump out of the window,” then it is not worth It is provocative to respond to these words. You shouldn’t laugh at him and say that no one will bother him. Very often children who talk about suicide with..
