1.问老师是否注意到这种情况;The teachers might be able to give you some insight into your child’s change in mood. For example, they can tell you about how your child is going socially at school, whether she might be being bullied or whether she’s finding the schoolwork too hard.
2. Thought detectives
Parents might notice their child focusing on negative thoughts – for example, ‘Nobody likes me’. In this situation, encourage him to be a ‘thought detective’.
This involves finding facts that support his negative thoughts and facts that don’t. Then help him to compare and contrast these facts.
For example, get him to list all the people who do like him and how he knows (‘Mum likes me because she cooks my meals and tells me she loves me’) and those who don’t like him and how he knows (‘Ben doesn’t like me because he doesn’t play with me’). Then ask your child some questions such as, ‘Have you ever asked Ben to play with you? What did he say?’
3.The worst thing
If your child gets stuck on negative thoughts, try asking her what she thinks is the worst thing that could happen. Then you could talk about whether the ‘worst’ is actually that bad.
For example, your child might say, ‘If I give a talk in class, everyone will laugh and think I’m dumb’. Ask, ‘Would that be the worst thing ever? Would the class remember your talk the next day or week?’
4. Other tips
Some other things that might help your child include:
having some social skills training
doing exercises to help him build healthy friendships
getting involved in a hobby or social activity
having a mentor or tutor to help him cope with schoolwork demands
getting professional help from a psychologist. |
