The desire of parents to see their child become an excellent student is quite understandable.
It is just necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of children, and not just social standards and personal expectations.
Psychologist Tatyana Shukshina told 29.RU how parents ruin their children's lives.
The expert believes that due to the standards existing in society, parents are not often able to recognize their child’s talent.
Meanwhile, childhood seems to be designed for finding strengths.
Therefore, adults need to observe children and work on their development according to an individual program.
The expert gives a simple example of parents insisting that their child study music, even if the child studies through force.
The psychologist emphasizes that some children are better versed in the humanities, while others prefer the exact disciplines.
Therefore, parents should not escalate the situation – not every child is destined to be an excellent student.
