Every person has a personal so-called “threshold of touchiness”, which is absolutely normal.
It's natural to be offended by certain things.
However, sometimes this threshold is clearly elevated in a child.
How do you know if your children are growing up overly touchy?
The child is ready to do everything for praise
If children are ready to do everything in order to deserve good words, then they are too dependent on the opinions of others. Often, this hides increased resentment.
In order to avoid facing an unpleasant experience, the child begins to try with all his might, experts note.
People do everything on purpose
If any annoying situation occurs that negatively affects the child, then he is confident that it was done intentionally.
Of course, this is unlikely. But children are actually convinced of it.
Children are hurt by the success of others
It is necessary to form an adequate attitude towards other people's success and achievements from an early age. If another child has achieved significant results, then you need to be happy for him.
Someone else's success does not cancel out your own progress.
Inadequate response to comments
A touchy child will have a very strong reaction to criticism. A trivial remark may cause tears or even hysteria.
Of course, this cannot be ignored. Such a reaction always needs to be corrected.
