What children are exposed to in formal or informal education is knowledge education. Knowledge education is necessary and essential in preparing children for pursuing economic, relational, and social values in life when they become adults. They need to not only accumulate knowledge but also learn how to keep accommodating new knowledge throughout their lifetime. However, knowledge education necessarily induces stress and wounds in children's psychology, and it is only natural that children develop psychological problems in the process.
Children manifest diverse psychological problems due to stress and wounds depending on different developmental phases, which are survival, adaptation to relationships, and formation of self-identity. Children's psychological problems are manifested as diverse symptoms including tic disorder, Tourette disorder, ADHD, developmental delay or disorder, game and internet addiction, intermittent explosive disorder and more. Unfortunately, these symptoms are diagnosed as psychological disorders based on adults' point of view rather than children's point of view.
As knowledge education is reinforced when a child already has diverse psychological problems, it only aggravates the condition. In the end, the psychological problems may be fixed as psychological disorders when they become adults. Knowledge education is important but it must also be noted that knowledge education can aggravate children's psychological conditions by adding stress and wounds.
Children with healthy psychology are also likely to develop psychological problems when knowledge education is overly emphasized. It is not just a coincidence that we see the co-occurrence of reinforced knowledge education and psychological problems in children in some societies.
It is important for teachers and parents to understand the relationship between knowledge education and psychological problems and take cautions against burdening children with excessive amount of knowledge education. It is also important for teachers and parents to learn how to solve and prevent children's psychological problems once they may occur.
Through Mother Therapy, mothers can learn how to help children to get knowledge education and still maintain healthy psychology. Mothers can build the ability to not only solve their children's psychological problems, but also prevent them.
