How to calm down an impetuous child

If a child is in a bad mood and shows impetuous psychological manifestations, parents must pay attention at this time. There are many reasons for the child's impetuous mentality, which are related to physiological reasons and some educational methods of parents. As parents, you must be patient in educating your children. Don't let your children develop the habit of comparison. Let your children learn to be independent and develop good living habits.

How to overcome impetuous mentality

1. Avoid comparison: "Comparing yourself with others will only make you anxious." Through comparison, the parties involved become dissatisfied with the social living environment and their own living conditions, thus giving rise to excessive desires.

2. Avoid materialism, hedonism, and speculation: Driven by the restless social mentality that is bewitched by materialism, hedonism, and speculation, the parties have only one goal in their struggle, which is money. However, their struggles lack perseverance and pragmatism, and they lack an accurate understanding of their own intelligence and development capabilities. As a result, they appear to be extremely fragile, sensitive, and adventurous. They will blindly follow the slightest "temptation" and are particularly prone to falling into psychological misunderstandings woven by money.

3. Accurately position yourself: Today's society is an open pattern. Everyone faces the problem of repositioning themselves in the social structure. Even a millionaire cannot guarantee that he will always be able to do whatever he wants. At the same time, with the major adjustments in social interests and structures during the social transition period, it is possible that some people who were originally in an advantageous position in society will "get worse", while those who were originally in a disadvantaged position will rise instead. Therefore, only by accurately positioning yourself, keeping a clear head, and doing what you can, can you remain calm and avoid the occurrence of impetuous mentality.

Causes of impetuous mentality

1. Internal reasons

(1) Neural type.

Psychological research shows that people with strong, inflexible, and unbalanced nervous types have higher levels of norepinephrine in their bodies, are prone to impatience, lose their temper, act impulsively, and are easily distracted.

(2) Personality traits.

Some students have weak willpower, lack self-control, are afraid of hard work and fatigue in studying, are impatient and reckless in doing things, and lack perseverance.

(3) Cognitive level.

Some students regard grades as the only criterion to measure whether they are successful. They are eager to achieve excellent results, but do not start with solid learning. They hope to achieve quick "success" through some "shortcuts".

2. External factors

(1) Social environment

Our country is in a period of social transformation. Social interests and structures are undergoing major adjustments, and the social atmosphere is filled with "noise" and "restlessness". As a member of society, middle school students are inevitably influenced by the social environment. Social opinions, fashions, customs, and cultural atmosphere will all have an impact on middle school students' world outlook, values, ambitions, and attitudes, thereby affecting their learning psychology.

(2) Family education.

Faced with the social changes brought about by the reform, many parents are in a state of contradiction. They approve and are satisfied with the results of the reform, but they are also worried and anxious that they will not be able to adapt to the shocks and impacts brought about by the new system. As a result, they are anxious about gains and losses and are uneasy. Some parents are eager to get out of poverty or change their current living conditions, and show a mentality of quick success and impatience (such as being picky about work and frequently changing jobs), wishing to become "one of the people who get rich first" in the blink of an eye. This mentality also affects their children.
