What comes to your mind after reading the phrase “corrupt child psychology”? Either it’s the psychology that is corrupted or the child?? It’s the psychology of the child, of course, that is corrupted with time. In this blog, we will see how much critical the psychology of a child is and how it is corrupted in this era.
Emotional development is different from social development. A child is socially developed in the best possible way, by the parents. But, emotional development is ignored by mothers, unknowingly. This leads to problems in society that are unrecoverable sometimes and have deep roots for the years and years.
Here are the things which corrupt the psychology of a child.
1. Bad Parenting Corrupts Child Psychology
The first and foremost thing is bad parenting. It’s more than the concept of the generation gap. A parent with corrupt psychology doesn’t matter generation gap or not, makes a child confused since birth. The main definition of corruption is the abuse of one’s power. In the same way, when parents try to inculcate their own thoughts and philosophies into a child’s mind and don let him critically read and analyze things himself, they corrupt his psychology, from the base.
2. Parents With Split Decisions Disturbs Child Mind
Secondly, when both father and mother go in opposite directions against each other, in all their philosophies, decisions, plannings, thoughts, and beliefs in life, corrupt psychology is the first gift they give to their baby, subconsciously or unconsciously. At the age of three, the child starts picking the habits and learns about his environment. Not much at that age but to some extent, the two completely opposite people can make him a split personality in the future.
3. Ignoring Parents Badly Impacts Child Psychology
Thirdly, Excessive busyness of parents in their own matters and leaving the child alone with tablets and mobile phones are the worst thing parents can do with their child. The high release of dopamine can make their child addicted to these gadgets. Then we see later on in life, that this child never enjoys spending time with his parents, nor takes them seriously in any advice. In all his childhood, parenting tasks had been done by these technological gadgets. No matter what kind of stuff he had gone through on tablets, he seemingly becomes a person with confused or corrupt psychology.
4. Unfortunate Life Events Lead Corrupt Psychology of Child
Fourthly, unfortunate life events lead to the corrupt psychology of a child. These events may include separation or divorce of parents, sudden job termination, death, trauma and parent’s affair, etc. A child, in this situation, get mentally disturbed and he can be mis-leaded by anyone, easily.
5. Abusive Parents and Disturbed Children
Fifthly, the abusive parents of a child destroy his ability of grooming and learn. Such kind of parents keep fighting with each other on petty issues, in front of their child, and also scolds the child, without any reason, many times. This situation leads the child to adopt a repulsive behavior from his parents and then from everyone, later in life. We can see the immoral, unethical, and abusive behavior of such children who went through abusive parents in their childhood.
6. Extreme Love or Extreme Possession of Parents Corrupts Child Psychology
Sixthly, too much softness and too much strictness, both extents of parents intensely corrupt the psychology of their child. It shows they fail or scares to give their child space for flourishing himself. In the case of strict parents, it seems that the history of those parents is also controlled by their strict parents. And now, the same rules are being applied to the next generation. In case of much softness, there are again unsuccessful rule-setting and no boundaries for the child to monitor and keep an eye on him.
7. Extended Family System and Child Psychology Issue
Seventhly, there are extended and large family systems where sometimes, the child comes across different personalities, good and bad, and parents fail in giving attention to him accurately. He starts adopting multiple things, without any discrimination of right and wrong.
8. Inferiority Complex in Child’s Psychology
Eighthly, sometimes, family or parents start giving attention to some other child in the family, due to his sickness or another reason. In this case, the other child, with the passage of time, feels inferiority complex and complaining attitude. If the same situation goes on, he becomes jealous and even rebellious of everything around him. It is one of the most dangerous reasons that lead to corrupt psychology in a child.
9. Parents; Using Child as Weapons Against Each Other
Last but not least, sometimes parents use their children against each other, as a weapon, to take revenge. For example, the mother tells the child about the misbehaves of the father and vice versa. This corrupts, not only the psychology of the child but also mentally paralyzes him to think whom to love between mother and father and whom not.
There are a lot of other factors also that are dominant in our society and households to corrupt the psychology of a child since childhood. The present-day events of suicides, rapes, and domestic violence can get worse in the future if our upcoming generation opens their eyes to such an environment.
