Not all parents understand how to properly prepare a child for difficulties.

Psychologists insist, calling this skill important. Parents, however, mistakenly believe that children need to be protected from mistakes, traumas, and stress.

How to teach children to resist difficulties, incrussia.ru reports with reference to psychologist Aliza Pressman.

Children and difficulties

The main task of parents is to show children that everyone makes mistakes and fails.

But instead, children are either scolded for their mistakes or they try to calm them down.

In such a situation, the only correct reaction is to demonstrate love, understanding and support.

This will help maintain relationships between parents and children and make communication open and comfortable.

The expert calls a situation when a child goes through a stressful situation and recovers from what he has experienced a sign of a stable child's psyche.

The only thing a child needs to be protected from is constant stress, which is harmful to health.

But in most cases, it will be enough to just ask how your child is doing, whether he is coping with everything, and also remind him that you are ready to support him at any time.
