How to deal with the stress caused by parental pressure?
What happens when our parents pressurize us with their high hopes?
How do we deal with their expectations?
1) Psychological impact on children
Excessive pressure from parents can even lead to a number of
psychological problems, manifesting in diverse stages of adolescence
and adulthood.
2) All-rounder children
Because of the inevitable competition in every field, parents push their
children to become all-rounders and children end up as victim, and go
into depression.
3) Academics vs Sports vs Arts
Unfortunately, parental pressure has turned these enjoyable activities
into competitive events resulting in immense stress on children.
How to deal with the parental pressure?
Put some distance between you and the rest. Make moving out at
priority, save the money it takes and do it.
Realize you don’t need to please your family. You need to realize
your passion. It’s you who has to live your life not them.
Learn to communicate assertively. It allows you to express
yourself in a vivid, direct way.
Ask for help. It’s not always important to do everything on your
own. You can ask for help, guidance, supervision from anyone you
feel comfortable to talk to.
