Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Many parents often say, "How can I not understand my children?" But the fact is, almost all parents have never truly felt their children's hearts or seen their children's deepest desires.
Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a child behavior psychologist, found through more than 40 years of research that parents see their children's behavioral problems such as rebellion, aggression, and bullying, but they do not see the inner desires and lost direction hidden behind the behavior. If the inner desires are deeply hidden and ignored, and no accurate response is given, the child will be lost and alienated from the parents, which makes it even more difficult for parents to see their children.
In such a vicious cycle, the child's accumulated sense of loss will eventually turn into problems in his or her original family that affect his or her adulthood.
Therefore, the author suggests that parents need to truly see their children and establish a good attachment relationship with them. In an environment of positive response and active seeing, children can be fully satisfied in their hearts and form a healthy self in adulthood and have the ability to obtain happiness.
