Lecture: 'What If a Child Didn't Live Up to Expectations?'

A family is the environment that has a huge influence on children. But not everything in a family works out smoothly. And parents start to wonder: what if it turned out this way—does it mean we ruined the child’s life? Psychologist Ekaterina Murashova answers the parents’ most pressing questions that begin with "what if?.." At this meeting Ekaterina Vadimovna will tell you that in a family not everything is lost—even if: — parents have different views on upbringing; — the parents are divorced; — the child doesn’t please the parents (fat, thin, not from the right family, etc.); — the family is poorer than others and this is noticeable. Let’s talk about how a child experiences constant comparisons with someone better and whether children need to be constantly urged toward development. We’ll discuss what everyday abuse is and how to stop it. "When adults adjust to the child’s interests, it becomes an unbearable burden on the child’s nervous system and leads directly to neurosis. The child adapts to the family’s rules of life, but never the other way around. Let’s together look at how this happens," says Ekaterina Murashova. This lecture is a rare case of a personal meeting with Ekaterina Murashova at the "Pryamaya Rech" (Direct Speech) lecture hall: Ekaterina Vadimovna is coming to Moscow specifically. Prepare your questions! Ekaterina Murashova is a family, child, and adolescent practical psychologist. Author of books for readers of different ages, teacher and popular lecturer.
