Interfering, Brutally Invading Your Child's Most Private Spaces

In learning as well as in other areas, they are not satisfied with their children's learning results and efforts (57.3%). Many parents require their children to achieve results in areas that they are not capable of (33.9%). They believe that when parents are not satisfied with the results their children have achieved, they will continue to strive even harder. However, parents do not realize that this makes children feel discouraged and tired, and if this happens over and over again, children will no longer want to try because their efforts will not be recognized and encouraged by their parents .

Correlation comparison shows: There is a clear correlation between highly educated parents with stable jobs and high demands on their children. Fathers and mothers with high education levels are more likely to have this behavior towards their children. They often use themselves as a standard or example for their children to strive for. Parents with low education levels and working in agriculture are less demanding of their children, if they do have any demands on their children, they only hope that their children will constantly strive, both to make their parents proud and to hope that their children will have a better future and less hardship than their parents. Therefore, when asked “Do you know that constant demands on your children can also lead to violence against them?”, many parents are surprised because “why is that a violent act and not good for children? Forcing or hoping for children to constantly try is only because they hope their life will be less miserable in the future, for them, not for their parents, so it is not good…” There are fathers and mothers who are doctors, forcing their children to study block B and take the entrance exam to medical school in every way, even though they like and study block C well, and want to take the entrance exam to the school of humanities; there are mothers who are teachers and only want their children to become teachers to follow in their mother’s footsteps…”. Therefore, children cannot live for themselves, for themselves, to fulfill their own wishes, dreams and ambitions. This greatly affects their interest, efforts and achievements. With the huge amount of knowledge in our country's current education system at school combined with the tight schedule of extra classes at home, children have no time left to rest or play. All day long

Learning like a machine directly affects children's physical and mental development.

Another common manifestation of parents' high demands on their children is asking them to follow the example of others, comparing children with this person or that person, friend A, friend B... The purpose is to create moral qualities, abilities... in children similar to the images that parents desire. At this age, the most taboo thing for children is to compare them with others and then force them to be like them. Most children do not want to and are really upset when being criticized and compared, especially with their peers, friends who are better than them. Children often think that "each person has a different situation, a different ability, I am me, that friend is that friend, why do parents keep making such unreasonable comparisons"...

Parents often want their children to be like and strive to follow the example of those who, according to them, are good role models. Comparing children with others is something that parents often use as an effective educational method. Therefore, when they are not satisfied with their children or want their children to be better, to try harder, parents often find ways to motivate their children by comparing them, criticizing them with the thought that because of anger, because of hurt pride, especially with friends of the same age, they will be better... In reality, demanding too much from their children or comparing and criticizing them with others are behaviors that are not beneficial to their development. When children realize that their parents' requests are unreasonable, they will form an attitude of opposition, hypocrisy or be immersed in anxiety about how to fulfill those requests. Children will think that their parents are unreasonable, imposing, arbitrary, and even hate the people that their parents often use to ridicule and compare them with. Therefore, to avoid forcing children to study too much, forcing them to follow the example of this or that person, parents need to be clear-headed and objective about their children to know their children's level of ability, interests, and real needs, and from there have appropriate requirements for the children.

Besides, unfair treatment between children is also one of the behaviors that causes them to feel extremely frustrated, angry, and uncomfortable.

Many researchers affirm that it is very difficult to achieve fairness in the family, especially in the way parents treat their children, because many times the way parents behave towards their children depends not only on the parents' own feelings for each child, but also on the gender, age and personality of each child. The incompetence and lack of tact of parents can make children feel that there are injustices, superiority and inferiority, which will cause discomfort and conflicts between siblings; when these behaviors are too obvious and biased, they will become violent acts towards children.

The question was “Do you often treat your children unfairly?” with 3 levels. The results we obtained were as follows: the majority of parents never have these behaviors (78.9%), only a very few subjects often (1.2%) and sometimes (19.9%) have such behaviors. The percentages we obtained from the study of the group of children are slightly skewed (9.4%-often and 34.0%-sometimes). Thus, sometimes parents do not think that these are unfair behaviors between children, but for children, such behavior is already unfair treatment between children.

Parents' unfair treatment of children often falls into two categories:

- Discriminatory treatment between boys and girls

+ In most families, parents tend to discipline and treat their daughters more strictly than their sons. Boys rarely have to do housework, can go out at night, can not know how to do anything or do it wrong, can be naughty or lazy, but girls are not allowed to be like that. Parents always teach their daughters according to stricter models and standards so that later they will become good, responsible girls. Thus, in the family

Family, strict education, combined with harsh social judgments create in girls quite clear feelings about the difference in roles as boys or girls.

I forbid it for girls. Girls gathering in groups of three or five is not proper. Boys are allowed.”

"As a girl, you have to take care of the family and housework later on, so cooking is a must. For boys, it's not necessary. Boys do bigger things."

“When I come home from work, if my daughter is home and the house is not tidy, I will scold her right away. But my son is fine, that is a woman's job.”

- Discriminatory treatment between children considered good/bad, talented/not talented in the eyes of parents.

The children's reactions often follow two trends: some children accept this, without questioning it, although they feel sad and uncomfortable inside. However, most of them do not agree with their parents' way of handling things. According to them, this unfairness is because their parents do not love their children, they only like boys or children who study well, children who make their parents happy...

As presented above, to treat children fairly in all cases and in accordance with their feelings is not an easy task and depends on many factors. Sometimes parents unintentionally do not pay attention and do not realize. This unfairness can exist within a certain allowable limit if the child feels that it is appropriate and acceptable, such as parents often taking care of their younger sister or baby. However, when parents' unfairness is expressed frequently, continuously or expressed too clearly, the results will often be contrary to the wishes of the parents. Some children will feel abandoned when their parents pay less attention to them, hate and envy their siblings "I hate my sister because she is always compared...". Children who are more pampered form the habit of being arrogant and looking down on others.

often their brothers and sisters. Unfair treatment between children causes negative moods, low self-esteem, boredom in those who are treated unfairly and bad habits and personalities in children who are spoiled. When children have resistance or feelings of hatred and jealousy towards their siblings, parents do not think that these are emotional reactions to the way parents treat their children, but often think that these are manifestations of spoiledness, bad character, and lack of love for their siblings. The emotional interactions between parents' behaviors - children's emotional reactions - parents' opposite behaviors and reactions... all create a vicious cycle and if parents are not alert to realize it, it will push the gap between parents and children as well as between siblings further and further.

To reduce injustice and increase the bond between siblings, no one other than parents themselves need to be aware of the potential problems in the way parents treat their children. Statements like “your brother is always at the top of the class, you have to marry him to study”, or “I feel hateful because I am always being compared”, “your sister at this age already knows how to do this and that”, “your sister is like this, you are like that” are not always reasonable, and are not always suitable for all children. Such encouragement can be ineffective and can also cause children to feel inferior, bored, resentful, and angry with their parents and siblings. When they feel that they cannot do things like their siblings and feel disrespected by their parents, children will lose their will and not want to try anymore.

3.1.2.4. Brutally interfering with or invading a child's most private areas.

Parents' violent treatment of their children through arbitrarily invading their children's private spaces does not discriminate between the parents' level of education or occupation. Among children who are frequently and sometimes violently interfered with and invaded by their parents' private spaces

93.5% of parents have college or university education and are civil servants. 93.8% of children have parents with high school education and work in agriculture... The above figures show that there is a certain correlation between the education level and occupation of parents and the behavior of parents arbitrarily and violently invading their children's most private spaces. Parents with low education level, the violation is more public and violent. Parents with high education level, the violation is less violent and somewhat more subtle. However, this ratio is not much different. Only the personality traits of parents more or less influence this behavior of parents. Parents with closed, calm personalities have a lower rate of violently invading their children's most private spaces than hot-tempered or calm parents (77.8% compared to 96.5% and 93.3%). Specifically, with the following behavioral manifestations:

Interfering, Brutally Invading Your Childs Most Private Spaces

Note:

1: Reading your child's letters, diaries, and private notes without permission

2: Forcing your child to tell you their secrets

3: Wanting your child to play with people he or she doesn't like

4: Don't want your child to play with someone he likes

5: Not being free to choose your own interests. 6: Eavesdropping when your child talks on the phone with friends.

7: Always ask your friends to know everything about your child.

With the psychological characteristics of the early teenage years, children have great awareness and self-esteem. In addition, they have their own private emotions and feelings and special personal relationships with friends. Looking at the data table, we can see that the highest choice rate is in option number 7 "always ask friends to know everything about the child" (63.2%), followed by the behavior of "forbidding all of the child's interests", accounting for 53.2%. When asked, most of the children answered that they found it difficult to understand why their parents did that. Parents also have their own interests, we also have our own interests. Parents force us to respect their interests. So why don't parents respect our interests?

Correlation Comparison: There is a clear difference and difference between this behavior and age, personality traits and education level. The younger the parents, the more they perform this behavior. Parents with hot-tempered personality types perform this behavior much more than parents with calm and reserved personality types. Parents with high school education perform this behavior more than parents with college or university education.

Another violent act that many parents commit against their children is “arbitrarily reading their children’s diaries, letters, and listening to their phone calls”. 26.9% of subjects have committed these acts. Diaries are where children express their most private thoughts and feelings about life, about their parents, and about their friends. Children worry when their parents discover secrets in their thoughts that their parents think are naughty or not allowed, such as feelings for the opposite sex,

thoughts of being bored with studying, things they are not satisfied with their parents... When seeing their parents doing that, children often feel ashamed, disrespected, upset, blaming, angry with their parents. They no longer trust their parents and are always in a state of anxiety and defense against their parents.

There are also subjects who answer that they are silent or silent, or ignore it as if nothing happened, do not care about how their parents invade their privacy, are not afraid that their parents will know their secret thoughts... There are also children who clearly show indifference, anger and disrespect for their parents. These are often the thoughts of children who are often treated like that by their parents. They no longer trust the relationship between their parents, no longer trust their parents' sharing as well as their desire for their parents to understand and give advice, there is a very clear gap in the feelings between parents and children...

Many children shared: sometimes they know that their parents do this to them not because they are overly concerned, nor because they unreasonably interfere in their private lives, but simply because they are curious and overly carefree. They just want to know what their children are thinking. However, no matter the reason, these behaviors of their parents are difficult for children to accept and forgive, and will leave unforgettable impressions and are really not good for children's psychology.

Another way parents care and protect their children but when not skillful can also become a violent act towards them is "forcing them to tell their own secrets", "secretly listening in on their phone calls" or "finding every way to ask their friends, asking them themselves to know everything about them".

Such parents often have the view that their children must know everything, their children must be under their parents' strict control, their parents have full authority to treat their children, can do anything that they think is good for their children, including brutally controlling their thoughts.
