Patient's question:
When Mom gets angry, the child hits himself, always bites his hands, and doesn't resist when others bully him, just smiles. He also goes to school in a low mood and doesn't want to go. He doesn't communicate with adults. Is this a psychological problem?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described, it feels like the child is indeed experiencing some psychological issues. Because the mother gets angry, it is absolutely not something the child would do to themselves—only that the child is afraid to show weakness in front of adults. Such children have suppressed emotions. I suggest you pay attention to your teaching methods. At home, you should allow the child to express themselves freely, and then in school, they will definitely not be bullied. Therefore, parents need to reflect on themselves and the child's childhood experiences. There must have been psychological shadows in the past, and it is essential to help the child move past those shadows in order to change the current situation.
