15 aspects of human behaviour that are set in childhood
Childhood is not just the funny baby faces, the first baby steps and the funny baby thoughts. It is an awkward period in which the most complex psychological programs are triggered, which will largely determine the child's further life and influence his choice of life path. It is in early childhood that the process of programming the child's psyche takes place, the laying down of behavioural stereotypes that will become part of our grown-up child's behaviour in the future.
1. Self-esteem, attitude to appearance, talents, abilities, awareness of one's own value and significance, belief in strengths, sense of vast resources, ability to assert oneself and find a worthy place in any hierarchy.
2. Habits of communication, manifestations of the need to communicate, interest in the world of people, ability to guess the feelings and mood of others, friendly attitude towards people, combined with self-esteem and ability to assert oneself.
3. Confidence in the world and a willingness to actively seek their place in it, an ability to expand their own consciousness and learn what is new in different areas of life, a need to seek out the new.
4. Gender identification, acceptance of female and male behavior. The child perceives from his parents the tendency to perform certain social roles.
5. Habits of communication in the family, the need to belong to the family, attachment to it, the need to care for family members, to receive joy from caring for relatives, the desire to make them gifts and bring them small joys.
6. The model of their own family in the future, the idea of the role of the parent, the spouse, the behavior in the household and the attitude towards children in their future family.
7. The ability to survive stressful situations, not to lose hope in situations that seem absolutely hopeless. How a person reacts to stress - whether he or she will panic, feel anxiety and fear, or be able to calmly, rationally solve the problem at hand is largely determined by childhood experiences.
8. The ability to adapt to new conditions, to accept losses in life, to resist the blows dealt to him by fate, depends in an incredible way on the lessons given to him by his parents.
9. The habits of biological survival, the ability to satisfy his biological needs, the striving to feed and warm himself independently, the constant improvement of his living conditions.
10. The ability to lead, to make others do what he wants, to bend them to his will, to manipulate them, to demonstrate power and assert his interests.
11. The ability to express his feelings. Normal self-esteem and trust in the world, laid down in early childhood, receiving support from the family help to build an open character, willingness to share his feelings.
12. The way of expressing negative feelings, anger, disagreement are also embedded in early childhood and most often they copy parental behavior.
13. Physical health is largely dependent on childhood experiences, the attention the family has given to the child's physical activity. In addition, the lack of a stable family environment and the mistakes made in the child's upbringing can become the cause of chronic psychosomatic diseases that arise in childhood and become unwanted but faithful companions of the person in adulthood.
14. The traumas experienced in childhood seem to live in the adult's subconscious and continue to exert their destructive influence on his perception of the world and his relationship with it.
15. In childhood, the value system that the child perceives from his or her parents is laid down.
Parents are most often the ones who write the script for their child's life. And the best tool that they
they can use is personal example.
