From the author: Educating does not mean saying good words to children, instructing and edifying them, but above all living like a human being yourself. Whoever wants to fulfill his duty regarding children must begin education with himself. /A. N. Ostrogorsky, 1840-1917/Every parent dreams of raising a healthy, happy, smart and kind child, of being both a friend and an authority in his eyes. Family education is the foundation on which the entire future life of a child is built. And how high-quality and solid this foundation is will determine what set of personality traits your little one will grow up with. There are no ideal parents and no ideal children. So let’s not idealize ourselves, parents, or our children!!! All the difficulties in parent-child relationships cannot be listed at once. And it’s not necessary at all. Everyone understands that parents do everything possible and impossible for their child “in their own way.” And everyone understands that only a specialist can cope with a certain type of psychological problem. Difficulties in relationships with children are determined by many reasons. And this is not only the excessive demands of the parents and the goal they set to make a second child out of their child, for example, N.M. Lomonosov!!! The very dynamics of life, namely increased demands on mental abilities not only at school, but also in kindergarten, mark the 21st century - the century of computer technology and progress, bringing with it a snowball of problems that falls on parents. And for this reason, parents - many parents - are not familiar with the Periodization of the mental development of children, on the basis of which a harmonious relationship with the child is built. The only thing that is important and, in fact, very important! So that parents, with the burden of everyday important matters, do not lose sight of those problematic moments in the child’s life that can radically change not only the child’s perception of the existing reality, but also, unfortunately, deform his personal qualities. Otherwise, it may turn into a “time bomb,” which will come as unexpected news to parents when it goes off one fine day. And here you are, and what to do with it??? And, of course, it is clear that the rhythm of modern life dictates its own rules and, of course, you can’t keep up with everything, and you can’t keep an eye on everything, and often we solve problems as they arise admissions!!!Then the only correct option is to solve these problems and not be afraid to admit that there are difficulties, not to turn a blind eye to these difficulties “just think, it will pass on its own, transitional age”, etc. Nothing passes without a trace, everything has a cause-and-effect relationship, and it is better to take progressive steps in advance to preserve the psychological health of the child and harmonize the family as a whole. A family is a system consisting of elements (parts, etc.), and, as in every system, if one element “fails,” then the functioning of the entire system is disrupted. If you are concerned about difficulties in your child’s behavior, difficulties in his communication with peers, failures in studies, tearfulness, excessive excitability or any other features in his development, then it is useful to seek advice from our Psychophysiological Center “Psiphysis”. Where specialists from various fields will help the child and his parents cope with the difficulties that arise at certain stages of growing up.
