Are children born with psychological problems?

No. Children are the hope of a family and the apple of every parent's eye. However, the appearance of some diseases often makes our eyes suffer, and mental illness is one of the common diseases. So, why do children have mental illness? Let's go to consult a psychiatrist together.

Children are also human beings, a social person. They also have psychological activities, and with the growth of age, their psychological activities are gradually enriched and complicated. So they not only have material needs, but also psychological needs and wishes. They need all kinds of information, emotional support and behavioral help from their parents. They have self-esteem and need to understand. If parents can't meet their children's psychological needs and are indifferent to their children's psychological needs, even if the children's material living conditions are superior, they will feel dissatisfied, distressed and even have various psychological problems. Just like their environment and lack of nutrition, some substances can cause physical diseases.

Children are developing people. Their psychology has the process, laws and characteristics of development. At each stage of development, their psychological characteristics are different, they have different problems to solve and different needs to meet. Their psychology is more different from that of adults. If parents ignore their children's characteristics, impose requirements on them, or treat them with requirements for other age groups, and fail to provide them with the conditions to solve the main problems of this age group, children will have psychological problems, distrust, guilt, inferiority and so on, which will affect their future development. When the external requirements are far from children's development level and characteristics, such requirements can not only promote children's psychological development, but also make their development deviate.

Every child is still a concrete person. Due to the complex influence of genetic factors and environmental factors, each child also has his own personal characteristics, and there are obvious individual differences in performance. If parents are sensitive to their children's personality characteristics and adopt parenting styles and attitudes suitable for their children's characteristics, their psychology can develop normally. On the other hand, if parents follow a unified model, adopt attitudes and ways that are not suitable for children, or treat children according to their own likes and dislikes, there will be disharmony and even conflict between parents and children, which will affect children's mental health. The characteristics of some children make them prone to mental health problems. For these children, parents should be more careful to prevent their problems.

Mental health problems have a process of development and formation. In the process of development and formation, she is not always manifested in obvious forms. It is best for parents to find minor mental health problems in time and take various measures to help solve them. In particular, we should not ignore the mental health of ordinary children, including those who are considered "good students" and "good children". These children look normal and have no psychological problems, but in fact they have potential unhealthy factors. Just because of their personality characteristics, or because there are no outstanding events leading to their psychological problems, their problems are not obvious. For these children, parents often relax their care and education. Under such conditions, their problems developed unconsciously and reached a serious level. Many examples illustrate this situation, which we should take as a warning.

Many parents are too careless about their children. They think that children are naturally playful, as long as they are allowed to play enough, they can leave it alone. In fact, children are also sensitive. Without much maternal love and fatherly love, they tend to feel inferior and timid. So, please spend more time with your children.
