The phenomenon of learned helplessness is laid down in early childhood, when the child realizes that he cannot control the outcome of an event. No matter how hard the child makes, the situation remains uncontrollable.
Learned helplessness is much easier to prevent in childhood than to reap its benefits in older age. Accordingly, the work of the parents is also important.
Often the child is afraid of failure, as he has already gone through a bitter personal experience in this situation. However, this is not a reason to get depressed. The first thing that needs to be done is to explain to the child about the existence of victories and defeats in life. Teach your child to objectively highlight the positive qualities that can be learned from failure.
The child's personal helplessness often goes along with such personality traits as isolation, shyness, and shyness. In no case do not restrict the child in communication, even if he is experiencing difficulties in this. Only the experience of repeated passage of the same situation can lead to positive results. The child will understand that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Teach your child to communicate without conflict with peers. This will help you effectively analyze the root of the problem and find optimal solutions. Play a few conflict situations in your family. Having met them in life, the child will feel much more confident.
