When a child grows up in normal family surrounded by friendly environment ,it actually helps the child to develop into mentally and physically healthy and strong. The child gradually develops into a balanced personality. Sometimes due to any casualties or incidences, when the family goes through any trauma, it also affects the little child’s psychology and it's development. And somehow these little children and their thoughts get ignored by the family. Under such circumstances the child develops an unbalanced personality and starts showing rejecting and repulsive attitude towards people in the society.
It is not necessary that all the children shows the same symptoms. Each individual behaves differently. This phase of their life becomes very crucial because they need affection and acceptance. In absence of affection and positive acceptance such children start showing various behaviour such as hyperactive- unstable behaviour and also sometimes destructive mindset. If we as a teacher try to talk to such children, initially they don't make eye contact because they try to hide their hidden emotions because they know that if they will do so the whole truth through their eyes will just flow in one go.
I still remember an incident when it was an assessment exam and in the creative writing question one child has shared the incidents of losing his mother during the COVID. When I got to know this then I tried to talk to that child and I found that child was like was about to burst into tears and tears and tears. His poor father was unable to take care of him and hence have left him in a boarding school. Although the child had adjusted in the school very well but his blank's face and teary eyes were clearly expressing the deep sorrow of child's heart. I as a Pastoral teacher told him that I am always there to listen him whenever he needs to talk to me.
