How can sensitive children live more easily? [Reading Record]
When you think of the emotions of adolescence, what kind of things come to mind?
Can you specifically recall what your own state of mind was like back then?
About 30 years ago,
when I was in the upper grades of elementary school to the first or second year of junior high school,
compared to when I was sensitive,
I feel that there is now more information available that allows us to metacognize ourselves and gain a mindset for living a better life.
In other words,
"Knowing what kind of person you are, and realizing that many junior high students think about these things, is proof that your heart is growing normally."
I feel that it is easier to access sources of information that convey this.
The other day, I read "How to Build an Unbreakable Heart You Want to Know in Your Teens"
(Author: Hiroko Mizushima).
It hit my 38-year-old self hard.
I encountered a book that made me feel from the bottom of my heart that I wanted to have my younger self read it.
There are times when you might find the negative emotions within you unbearable. Some people might think that feeling this way is proof that they are weak. Perhaps some of you are trying hard to get rid of negative emotions because you want to live positively.
But every emotion has a proper role.
I see, the Disney movie "Inside Out" talked about the same thing.
Just knowing that, "It's okay because emotions have a proper role."
"It's okay not to belittle yourself, ruminate obsessively, or drive yourself into a corner."
"There is also a way to view things objectively and accept your emotions."
Wouldn't just knowing these things be a great emotional support for adolescents?
Also,
First, let's start by clarifying what triggered you to have those unpleasant, fuzzy feelings. If you practice observing yourself carefully in that way, you will be able to realize, "I have a trigger for feeling negative," instead of hating yourself by thinking, "I am always negative."
Being able to avoid hating yourself leads to "protecting yourself the most."
This book contained things that are now written on the first page of the first chapter of self-help books stacked on bookstore shelves.
Write down your negative emotions.
Put them into words.
Journal about things you are grateful for.
Even if the methods and means of expression are different,
they are all
accumulations of "practice in observing yourself carefully."
Besides that,
・People who are angry are people who are in trouble. They are people who cannot say they need help because they are in trouble.
・Vertical comparison and horizontal comparison
・"It's fine as it is for now" is a very useful spell.
・"I'm sorry" is more of a word of sympathy than an apology.
There were many words that struck a chord even when read by an adult.
School non-attendance in the lower grades.
School non-attendance due to the first-year junior high gap.
Both are on an upward trend.
I feel that it is important for adults to teach and guide children about mindsets and how to perceive events so that the number of students who feel even a little bit of distress will decrease.
Thank you very much for reading until the end.
