Studies show that maternal depression is especially dangerous for boys - they develop speech and large motor skills worse than girls in the same situation, they cope worse with tests that determine the development of intelligence.

Maternal depression directly affects the condition of the child.

Depression is a serious disease with a high probability of death (70% of depressed patients have suicidal thoughts, 15% commit suicide). Depression cannot be ignored.

Adults sometimes do not understand why a child is bargaining for so long, delaying the moment of going to bed or courting lessons - you still have to do it, and you won’t get enough sleep tomorrow. But for a child, tomorrow is almost never, and right now he has beaten off an extra hour of play from you. Victory!

The right home for a child with ADHD is one that is ready for a wild monkey invasion.

In psychology, there is no concept of laziness, there is a concept of absence

Forgiveness is an opportunity to start over. This is sanitation and hygiene in relationships.

Love and affection is exactly what brings up better than any punishment, than any method or system.

If you go to a psychologist, then you are a psycho. No: it means you have a soul, psyche in Greek.

When it comes to fatigue, lack of sleep, constant stress, hatred and dislike often turn out to be the flip side of love.

It is impossible to deprive a child of his birthday, Christmas and New Year! You just can't - that's all, even if he behaved very badly. Birthday, Christmas and New Year are not a reward for good deeds, they are just a holiday for everyone, to which everyone is entitled. Birthday is when everyone is happy that you are in the world. New Year - when everyone celebrates the new year of life. Christmas is for everyone in the world. Taking away these holidays is like taking away the right to live and enjoy life.

A difficult temperament does not mean a natural propensity to delinquency. But if society pushes a difficult child to the sidelines, instead of helping him, sooner or later he may find himself on the sidelines: not everyone will have the strength and perseverance to return from this side of the road again and again.

Far from all bad behavior of a child is conscious behavior aimed at testing boundaries, manipulation, failure to complete a task, etc. Parental skill consists precisely in figuring out: when the child screamed from fatigue, and when he just tries to scare his parents with a cry to buy him a toy.

Difficult children are not parents' fault. Easy children are not parental merit.
