Parenting tips
Scientific research shows that the brain has plasticity which means it can be changed and shaped via every thought and experience we have in our lives. This is a profound finding and demonstrates how important it is for us to create positive experiences for children throughout their early childhood and schooling. Our brains store so much information and most of it is in our unconscious minds. If we give praise and recognition for something they have excelled at, they will instantly feel good. However the reverse is also true, if frequently told "you're naughty" or "a liar", when in fact they are telling the truth, this will affect a child’s emotions and perhaps leave them feeling upset, angry or unloved.
Parenting is hard and a very responsible job, however much parents encourage good behaviour school age children soon become influenced by their peers. It is difficult to support and protect them when they are out of your care. Hearing a hurtful remark from a close friend or classmate can really upset a child, especially if they are very sensitive. When this happens a child often becomes quiet and withdrawn, then bounces back. This is all part of the growing up process. Shy kids often take things more personally, when harsh words are repeated and directed at a youngster, it has an impact on their self-esteem and confidence.
Standing up for your child can help but sometimes this is not enough, that negative thought or comment may still remain. Whilst children today are mostly confident and adapt well to new situations, it can be particularly hard for an only child or a child who has gone through some kind of trauma to shrug off those feelings about themselves. Whilst trying to help and be supportive whatever a grown-up says, is often responded to with harsh words or non-communication; which exacerbates the situation further.
