Letters from parentsHello teacher.
Recently, what is the matter with children who keep saying things to threaten us?
I'll tell you carefully, that is, the child will say anything unhappy
I don't want to live anymore, I don't want you to see me again. ”
Once, he became so angry that he even stuck his neck with his hands.
Although he himself slowly calmed down later, I was still worried.
I don't know what's wrong with the child?It makes me shudder to say death at every turn, what should I do?
Thank you, parent, for your trust.
It is disturbing for a child to threaten death.
But at the same time, this situation exists in many families.
And parents don't know what to do, so they can only do it in a hurry.
So, why do children threaten their parents with death?How should parents cope?
Below, let's analyze it in detail.
Why do children threaten their parents with death?Children threaten their parents with death, which can be caused by a variety of reasons.
Here are five possible reasons:
1. Improper emotional management
Your child's ability to manage emotions is developing and may take extreme ways to express their emotions.
When frustrated or stressed, they may not find the right way to control and express their emotions, leading them to threaten "I'm going to die."
2. A signal to ask for help
Children may use this type of language to try to show their parents that they are distressed.
If a child has a problem at school or at home that they can't solve, they may use this way to get parental attention and help.
3. Imitation behavior
Children may see or hear about death and suicide on TV, movies, or the Internet and imitate these behaviors.
Violence, threats, and suicide scenarios in these can have a negative impact on a child's behavior.
4. Psychological problems
Children may threaten their parents with death because they have psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, or autism.
These problems can cause them to have difficulty dealing with emotional and social interactions.
5. Family environment
The home environment may also have an impact on a child's behavior.
For example, problems such as conflict, quarrels, or violent behavior in the family may make children feel upset and helpless, leading them to resort to extreme behaviors to express their emotions.
How can parents respond to this behavior in their children?When a child threatens with death, this is a serious problem.
As a parent, be very cautious and sensible. Here are some strategies to take:
1. Stay calm
While it can be hard, parents should stay calm, especially in front of their children.
Reacting loudly or excitedly may provoke your child to resist more intensely.
2. Contact and communication
Try to establish good communication with your child to understand their emotions and thoughts.
Be sure to let them know that they are loved, understood, and can also express their fears and doubts.
3. Create a safe environment
Rare parental stress responses, conflicting communication environments can all motivate a child's threatening behavior.
Creating an environment of peace, understanding, and love helps children develop psychologically.
4. Pay attention to daily life and Xi
Make a regular life and Xi plan for your child.
Let them divert their attention from their busyness and avoid negative thoughts.
5. Educate children about life
When a child threatens with death, parents should take it seriously and give life education in time.
Tell them about the meaning and value of life, and help them understand that life's troubles and frustrations are only temporary.
Let them know how to cherish life and face life's challenges with a positive attitude.
In general, parents should not feel helpless or frightened when their children threaten with death, but should educate them in the right way.
As a parent, you must be patient and find a reasonable way to solve the problem and stifle this kind of thinking from your child.
