Patient's question:
The child is currently in their second year of high school. They started boarding school in their first year, but after two weeks, they suggested not wanting to continue boarding. This is because the school does not allow day students, and as parents, we also disagree with the child's suggestion. The child's academic performance at the beginning of the school year was average, but after a year, they have almost become the lowest in the class. When they entered their second year, the school had a major class change, and the class they were assigned to was quite good within the grade level. The homeroom teacher is strict, and in the first week, the child was full of confidence. However, they then asked us to rent a house near the school for them, reasoning that it would be convenient for them to ask questions with a classmate who is good at practice. This way, they could ask their classmate questions more easily. Considering the child's safety, we agreed to rent a house for them, but they still insisted on boarding school. As a result, every week they would cause trouble with us. After the mid-term exams ended, their overall grades declined, but at the same time, they told us they would no longer attend tutoring at school and would study at home. They only planned to return to school for the final exams. We did not agree to this. Now, they have stopped practicing and are only clashing with the teachers at school, insisting on returning to boarding school. We are truly at our wits' end.Doctor's answer:
First, it needs to be proven that the child has a relatively severe aggressive mentality. At this time, don't engage in a direct confrontation; instead, gradually communicate with the child. Renting an apartment and eating dinner there is also a problem; it cannot be that you often eat outside, which is very bad for your health. I suggest taking the child to a psychological department in a Class III hospital for a few consultations and to receive standardized treatment. Communicate with him more, and try to reduce his rebellious mentality as much as possible. The above advice is for the question "The child is in his second year of senior high school, and he has already started boarding school in his first year." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
