How does one or another style of upbringing influence the formation of the child’s character and his relationships with peers? Overly strict or even despotic upbringing develops in children such character traits as uncertainty, shyness, timidity, dependence and, less commonly, excitability and aggressiveness. Excessive attention and satisfaction of all the child’s desires lead to the development of hysterical character traits, with egocentrism and insufficient self-control. Also, a lack of emotional attention leads to hysterical character traits - a complex of peculiar emotional impairment. The lack of education as such leads to excitability, instability, and an asocial type of behavior. In some families, a kind of role reversal is observed: the father and mother seem to have swapped their places in raising children. The mother is restrained without external manifestations of love, and has a powerful and demanding attitude towards the children. The father, on the contrary, is emotionally open, abundant in love and, for the most part, permissive. Then girls exhibit “boyish” traits in behavior. Subsequently, both girls and boys develop a characteristic picture in the form of pronounced excitability, a tendency toward impulsiveness and obsessive actions. The main pathogenic factor here is, first of all, the absence of the father’s organizing influence on the children. A nervous breakdown can be triggered by double, contradictory, or unfair instructions. When there are too many comments and demands, but not enough warmth and understanding. Such children experience difficulties in communicating and understanding with peers. The child tries at all costs to win recognition and friendship, then refuses communication for outwardly inexplicable reasons. Sometimes they strive to rule, not paying attention to the real balance of forces, then they become dependent and driven, submitting to any influence. A child with whom one of the parents has entered into an alliance also experiences communication difficulties. If a child is forced to replace mom or dad’s partner (for example, emotionally), then he is, as it were, promoted. He becomes a step higher and the child is not interested and bored with his peers. Loneliness and isolation in a group of peers is almost inevitable. The advice is simple. The main thing is to be able to look at yourself self-critically and change your attitude towards the child. Both parents need to coordinate their actions and efforts in raising the child. Praise more often, meet the needs and interests of the children. Do not worry unnecessarily and do not fight with children over every trifling issue.
