The incident of suicide of a student studying in a school in Delhi has once again raised many serious questions. Are today’s children becoming more sensitive than before at an early age? Are we not able to understand their feelings and are schools, families and society together failing to prevent such tragedies?
If reports are to be believed, many children have lost their lives in the last few years. According to experts, today’s children have started facing pressure, comparison and mental fatigue at a very young age. The influence of social media, pressure of studies, expectations of home and school, all these together break their minds quickly.
Children sometimes consider even small things as big issues, because at this age their emotions are yet to be balanced. They are just understanding themselves, and in such a situation anything can have a deep impact.
Why do children take things seriously?
According to experts, during adolescence the brain takes decisions based on emotions quickly and without thinking. During this time, they associate taunts, scolding, neglect or any negative experience with their failure or loss of importance. If they feel that they will not be heard or understood, they remain silent and their emotions get stored inside.
If you tell even half the story, your life can be saved.
Many experts say that if children share even half of their secrets with a trusted person, then 90% of the situation can be handled. The problem is that children do not talk openly because they fear that they will be scolded, their words will not be taken seriously and they will be made fun of.
Why is counseling important?
Having counselors in schools is not just a formality, but a demand of today’s times. Counseling helps children understand emotions, handle stress, and solve any problem peacefully. Counseling is very important for those children who hide their pain and also for those children who show sudden changes in their behavior or studies.
What steps should teachers take?
It is the responsibility of every teacher to understand the teenage mind. School not only teaches curriculum, it also becomes the basis of children’s mental health. Steps should be taken like immediately noticing behavioral changes in students, talking more understandingly than scolding, not taking any complaint or problem lightly, avoiding language or comparisons that embarrass the child.
