People can truly love their children, but still not pay attention to them.
The reasons can be very different: caring for other family members, work or study.
But such a situation, when a child experiences a lack of attention and care, can be dangerous for him.
How to understand that a child is experiencing a lack of attention
The baby may change his usual behavior.
For example, if he had a calm character, he may start throwing tantrums regularly. Aggressive behavior is possible, when the child starts to deliberately spoil things.
Another sign is an obsessive desire to be with mom and dad all the time.
It is also worth noting that with a lack of attention, a child may often get sick, since stress weakens his immunity.
In some cases, children pretend to feel ill so that their parents will spend more time with them.
An unhealthy desire to be perfect is another way.
Boys and girls can attract attention through their perfectionism, excellent studies and excellent behavior.
But this can only make the situation worse, since children in such cases experience mistakes and failures even more difficultly.
