What does it trigger in a child?
Hello, I have a question for you that perhaps someone here can answer. My friends, the neighbors, have three children aged 10, 6, and 2. The parents of the children used to scare their children by banging on a wall before they went to bed. To put it bluntly, they were really scared. And the parents only did this because the children kept getting out of bed in the evening. At least the two older ones always came out of their room in the evening when they were supposed to stay in bed. As a mother, I personally don't think this is right for parents to do this, but now my question: What triggers an action like this (as described above) in the children?
Kind regards, I
That's really not a nice situation. When parents knock or scare, it can cause a lot of confusion and anxiety in children. It may be that the children associate the knock with danger and feel unsafe or anxious, especially if they are to sleep. You might be afraid, something bad could happen. It is important that children feel safe and secure, especially when they are sleeping. I think parents can use other methods to make their children sleep, such as a quiet routine, reading a book or playing soothing music.
I also think that thank you for the answer
Did you realize that they were afraid?
What this is done with them later can only be speculated.
-when parents explain the situation, take them fear and otherwise are caring parents – at best nothing
-if it is different, it could minimize trust with parents
Rather, I would now directly assume that they get a fear of begging, which of course can be.
For the children I hope the best and I personally give you the right that the action was shaped by little intellect towards the children.
Thank you for the answer
In any case, the negative feeling triggers. Maybe the kids don't feel safe anymore. It's wrong to want to raise children by fear.
I don't know, after all, no one knows the family… I'm wondering where you want to know what's going on with them? Are you snooping after them or something?
Dear Gorkon193,
No sniffing I wasn't, but honestly I don't have to justify myself for a completely normal question… When my acquaintances tell me about it because they were visiting the neighbors at the time and wanted to hear my opinion about it, but I still care about it myself. Wanted to ask what other parents think about it…. This has to do with sniffing nothing…
