If a child is not allowed to belong to himself and his age group, who is he allowed to belong to?

Mom

Mom allows the child to belong only to herself. She puts the child between herself and the outside world to protect herself from this world.

She has her own reasons for this, which affect her attitude towards the child. You shouldn't blame her! (Experts can help you understand these reasons and shape new experiences.)

She looks at the child with admiration and says:

- You are my only support! - What would I do without you? - You are not like everyone else. You stand out from everyone else because I'm your mom.

Children in their age group are on the same rung. In this they are equal. Their difference can be in skills, skills, abilities. One can do what the other cannot. By exchanging experience while playing, communicating, they learn to communicate from each other.

Emphasizing the superiority of the child over their peers, mom unconsciously puts him above them, and sometimes on a par with herself. The child does not have the opportunity to live all the stages of growing up with peers. And this experience is necessary for everyone to build effective relationships in adulthood.

Fencing off the child from this world, the mother exposes him to the blows of life's circumstances:

- You are unique, so do not be friends, do not communicate with this or this. - I did not expect this from you! You are capable or capable of more!

An adult son or daughter does not have the experience to integrate into society, the ability to get along, resist, defend their point of view, because they belonged to their mother, and not to themselves.

- I was always different from my peers, I did not know how to communicate with them. Mom proudly said that I was not like them. I am a "white crow", - said the young man to himself.

He has a promising (money) profession, but he is not successful in it and in his personal life. A second marriage, loans and a belief reinforced by my mother that he is not like everyone else.

There is no experience of communicating with peers, but only experience of communicating with mom

Bottom line. If this prohibition was in your childhood, then tell yourself:

- I allow myself to have many friends! - I allow myself to form my own social circle! - I allow myself to meet new people! - I allow myself a new happy relationship!

We all live in this world. It is common to all of us. And, each of us has the right to this life equally. There are no exceptions.
