Not all parents can calmly watch their child spend days lying on the couch with a smartphone or tablet, justifying their behavior by the onset of vacation or laziness.
Laziness is contagious, but in the case of children, it is important to understand that laziness does not arise by itself, and it is also important to distinguish laziness from idleness.
Why is a child lazy and what is laziness
It turns out that this phenomenon has a completely scientific explanation. It is a common reluctance to do something that is boring and uninteresting.
And when a person is idle, he rather rests from what tires him.
Understanding the nature of laziness can be done better by understanding its causes.
First, children may be lazy because they do not want to do what they are assigned to do.
This could be about school, chores, anything. It's clear that this cannot be indulged.
Secondly, the child loses interest in his studies. Or, as adults say, there is no motivation, and then any business begins to seem hopeless.
Thirdly, this business is not without self-doubt. And then it also seems that the business is hopeless and you don’t want to take it on.
Conclusion
Forcing someone to do something is not the right way.
Experts believe that lazy children do not exist. Most likely, you are dealing with a person who has not yet found his or her interest or does not believe in himself or herself.
Earlier we talked about why a child should be praised for their efforts, not their talent .
