Why a child can't cope with difficulties: where the mistake was made

The completely normal desire of parents to give their child everything so that he does not need anything has a downside.

This is how you can raise a hothouse child who will be unable to withstand difficulties. Excessive parental care is to blame for everything.

It has been proven that in such a situation, parents are most afraid that their children will get sick, develop bad habits, experience financial difficulties in the future, or are generally afraid to leave their child unattended - simply because of some of their own fears.

Such vigilance on the part of parents often backfires, experts say.

Firstly, wanting to make life easier for children, parents first help with homework, thereby preventing them from gaining knowledge. But this cannot continue forever.

Secondly, by doing all the housework for their children, parents risk not only raising lazy people, but also damaging their self-esteem.

If a child wants to help mom and dad, but they refuse, then he may feel like an outsider.

Thirdly, children should have friends and the opportunity to communicate with them outside of parental influence. Walks, excursions or trips without parents make children independent.

Fourth, if a child grows up in a world where it is not necessary to make an effort to get something, he will be in for a terrible disappointment in the future. This will happen when he has to act without the help of his parents.
