Patient's question:
When the child was young, his father was too strict! He had beaten the child, and the child had also run away from home. When his father was away for a year, the child's condition was much better. But recently, his father came back, and I feel like the child has changed into a completely different person. He's irritable, doesn't talk much, sighs all day long, and even goes out wandering late at night. He once told me that life is pointless. How can I persuade the child?Doctor's answer:
The child is currently in adolescence, a time when he tends to be aggressive. Therefore, it is not advisable to be firm about everything. It is important to carefully observe his thoughts and try to build trust and friendship with him. Children usually enjoy their parents' chatter, so avoid excessive conversation. You can gather information about his thoughts and intentions indirectly from his friends. Then, you can persuade him through his friends or relatives.
