Question
My child is 10 years old and currently in the third grade. He is very active and seems quite mischievous, but I also feel that he is quite intelligent. He was reprimanded by the teacher for doing small actions in class last time, and recently, he has been unwilling to go to school. When it comes to school, he becomes deflated. What should I do?
Answer
Such children are not few in number, and the fundamental reason is that most of them are only children who have been pampered and cannot handle interpersonal relationships well. “When I talked with Xiao Ming, I found out that he was not afraid of the final exam itself, but afraid of the release of the results after the exam. If he does well, he will be very happy, but if he does much worse, it will be hard for him to understand. A common point among today’s children is that they cannot accept criticism. Before they touch society, they are held in the palm of their parents’ and elders’ hands. But once they go to school, they start being criticized and corrected. At this point, the child’s psychology begins to show rejection again.
