Long Answer

Solution

  1. Denial: Refusing to accept the diagnosis, believing that the youngster will “grow out of it” or that the problem does not exist.
  2. Blame: Accusing the youngster of not trying hard enough or of being lazy or unmotivated.
  3. Overprotection: Excessive shielding of the child from obstacles can impede the development of coping and problem-solving abilities.
  4. Frustration and anger: Expressing anger or irritation with the youngster for their difficulties might harm the child’s self-esteem and confidence.
  5. Shame or embarrassment: Feeling ashamed about the diagnosis may lead to avoiding discussions about the child’s needs or failing to seek appropriate support.
  6. Comparisons: Making negative comparisons to siblings or peers might reduce the child’s self-esteem even more.
