Parents
rejection of the child, though unintentional, is also shown in various
ways, like physical neglect, denial of love and affection, lack
of interest in the child’s activities, interests and achievement,
harsh or inconsistent punishment, failure to spend time with the
child, or any kind of a activity of apparent which keeps child away.
Parent’s
rejection can be partial or complete, passive or active and subtly
or overtly heartless. To keep the child in a crèche (pre-school,
etc.) is also a form of rejection.
Rejection
manifests in the child in the form of excessive fear, shyness,
aggressiveness, thumb sucking, bed-wetting, depression, temper
tantrums, lying, stealing, slow, conscience development, low self-esteem,
feeling of insecurity, loneness, jealousy, anxiety and inability
to give & receive love.
All this
happiness in the subconscious level of mind i.e. automatically
& child can not help, resist or prevent their manifeastation in
his behavior or personality. Parental rejection is a major reason
why adolescents decide to run away form home.
Not let’s
come to know to the source i.e. causes of rejection as follows.
Causes of
REJECTION:
It would
appear that a large number of parents, who neglects their children
have themselves been the victims of parental rejection (coz, parents
sow, so do children reap & we are what we repeatedly do). And
even the children, who face the parental rejection don’t accept
their parents when the latter grow old. The root thing I want
to tell that it is not a one way behavior. That is why the lack
of love has been referred as a communicable disease.
A child may
be neglected without being rejected. In other words, when parents
are very much busy with their work, they neglect their own children.
*** Maternal
deprivation causes faulty development. ***
When infants
are deprived of maternal stimulation as a consequences of separation
from the mother e.g. working women or due to lack of adequate
mothering in the home. Faculty development has been observed obliviously.
When the
mother devotes little attention to the child and In the process
of neglect or reject him, the effects of such masked deprivation
may be more devastation than any one can imagine.
Rejection
or punishing mothers may cause tense, unsatisfied & negative behavior
among their infants even at very early age. In case of early &prolonged
deprivation, the damage to the infant may be irreversible or only
partially reversible. Those mother who takes the part in the kitty
parties and the inflict separation on their child infants, and
those who keep the child in a crèche must be careful.
Remember:
A Loving emotionally responsive parent will invoke positive, cooperative,
loving responses form the child.
