1. Myth 1: Children's bad behavior is lack of discipline.
Usually, children have bad behaviors or habits, which parents will think is lax discipline. It is good to have food, but they don't realize that children may be psychological and behavioral problems. In this regard, experts believe: "Reward is more powerful than punishment." Although beating and cursing may be effective in a short time, the effect on children is mainly fear or fear, not inner recognition, which cannot be internalized into his own behavior. In other words, if he encounters the same incident again, he will do something that is not allowed without supervision and punishment, which actually has no real educational effect.
Moreover, children who are often beaten and scolded will have low self-esteem, self-confidence and exploration ability. At the same time, the way of beating and cursing will also affect the parent-child relationship. Without a good parent-child relationship, the effect of education will be discounted.
2. Myth 2: Psychological problems must be treated with drugs.
Most children's psychological and behavioral problems can be improved and corrected through behavioral intervention and family parenting guidance. Of course, if a combination of drugs is needed, it will definitely be better to follow the doctor's advice, such as ADHD. The current research is that on the basis of drug treatment, combined with behavioral intervention is effective, and adverse drug reactions may not necessarily occur. If medication is needed, the doctor will weigh it according to the child's specific situation.
3. Myth 3: It is enough to see a doctor in the psychology department.
Sometimes, when parents change, children will change with them. Therefore, if children have problems, parents must study and make corresponding changes, and the effect will often surprise everyone.
4. Myth 4: If you have high psychological quality, you don't need to see a psychologist.
Professional things are done by professional people, and the effect is positive. Sometimes you can really guide yourself and finally learn to adjust yourself, but if someone helps you, it will be easier for you to solve the problem.
5. Myth 5: One consultation can solve the problem.
The so-called Rome was not built in a day, and psychological and behavioral problems are generally not formed in a short time. It takes a long time to solve these problems. According to the severity of the disease, different psychological schools and psychotherapy methods will have different courses of treatment, which may be as short as several weeks and as long as several years.
6. Myth 6: Psychological counseling is simply chatting.
Psychological counseling and therapy are definitely not as simple as chatting. Experienced psychologists will make judgments based on patients' facial expressions, language tone, body movements, etc., and need to use psychoanalysis, behavior theory, cognitive theory and other strategies and skills.
