Thus, patterns, habitual actions and stereotypes appear in the psyche. 80–85% of neural chains are laid up to the age of five and are associated with the behavior of parents and their attitude towards the child. Children who are cherished and loved, in the overwhelming majority of cases, become mentally healthy adults. And if the baby loves relatives and does not receive reciprocity, he suffers and feels himself superfluous and rejected.
Sometimes neurotic reactions develop, as a result of another childhood psychotrauma - comparisons with more successful peers.
Knowledgeable parents will not bring the child to the occurrence of painful reactions, focusing on unsuccessful actions and weaknesses. And also one should not tell the child that there are bad people and envious people around him.
