These are some of the stories that children tell relatively commonly.
I listen carefully in the treatment room to stories that surprise me as I listen, and then worry or sigh after hearing them.
There is no doubt that something has changed in the world.
Certainly, the children's attitudes have changed and their arguments have changed.

It is said that the types of wounds that children receive have also changed.
And there are many children in Korea who are willing to throw away and give up on grades, which parents cherish as much as their lives.
No, there are many children who say that they have already given up rather than given up early on.

There are no children who want to do 'more', and it is full of children who want to do 'less'.
He has a strong physique and a handsome appearance, and although he appears to be in good health, he says he has difficulty breathing and is living with the feeling of wanting to die.

The psychological state that we are condemning among our youth and young adults today is the result of our actions, both socially and familially.
These are the many evils and contradictory systems that are maintained as a result of competition, hierarchy, academic background-based ideology, overprotection, excessive dependence, loss of diversity, and the inability to escape school nepotism.
These things are creating losers in children and driving their emotional state into despair.

It is actually very scary to break away from your parents' expectations.
And if they decide to break their parents' expectations, that is, if they decide to go down a different path from what their parents expected, the children will have to go through a very difficult process mentally.

The problem is that most parents in our country still have expectations aimed at just one target.
So, if you misfire the arrow of 'studying well', which is your only chance for success, you will end up with a huge loss.
You must feel a sense of defeat.
And it's not just one or two people, it's the absolute majority.
The majority of children who fail to hit the target for first place end up feeling angry and resentful.
I'm so angry that I can't give my parents, who loved me with their lives, what they want.
So at first, I really hated myself for not being able to do it.
But as time goes by, you start to hate parents who expect things of their children that they can't do, and when you open your eyes and look at the world, you become enraged by the fact that this society operates on a system that cannot please loving parents.
In this society, only a small number of children are able to please their parents, yet society continues to maintain and reinforce this system.

Activities that allow children to meet meaningful others and connect with the world have significantly decreased.
In a world where travel, reading, and socializing have decreased, children are constantly looking at their photo albums filled with selfies.
The only adults are parents, school teachers, and academy teachers.
The world of children is truly infinitely reduced.

So, the children who are like you and your friends and their friends may be clones of you rather than strangers.

Without significant others, there is no discovery and no love.
There is no happiness.
In fact, a life without meaningful others is like a dead life.
If you try to live that life, every day is bound to be hard work.
You have to live a life of adorning yourself and obsessing over your own popularity, without any emotion or excitement.
To our children, others are beings who are forgotten or banished.

Even if it's not a grand and abstract story about others, the presence of others who understand and connect with our children has decreased significantly.

Kids these days value relationships much more than they did in the past.
Compared to previous generations of adults who valued work, achievements, and products, today's children value relationships, processes, reputation, and recognition more.

In the process, it becomes such an important issue that the saying, "recognition is a struggle" is used, and the popularity and reputation that result are of equal or higher value than what we used to consider "honor."
In that sense, adults who find it difficult to approach children from a relationship, attachment, and bonding perspective may find it much more difficult to deal with them.
So it's important to acknowledge children, learn to relate to them, and build bonds with them.
That's what gives children hope.

In that respect, what children find most frustrating and distressing is their anonymity and sense of non-existence.
Of course, after going through various processes and becoming helpless, children actually prefer anonymity, but in the pre-injury stage, children value being treated as a specific, real person by an adult.
In other words, the existence of a concrete relationship is a condition for an encounter that can initiate something.
