When exploring the complex causes of children’s autism, we often focus on multiple dimensions such as genetics, environment, and neuroscience, but we frequently overlook a seemingly insignificant yet crucial factor – family atmosphere and parent-child interaction patterns. Surprisingly, this factor is intricately linked to the occurrence and development of autism, a factor that 80% of parents have not paid enough attention to in their daily parenting.
Family Atmosphere: The Cradle of a Child’s Soul
The family is the first and most important environment in which a child grows. A family atmosphere filled with love, warmth, understanding, and support can provide children with a solid psychological foundation and promote their healthy development. However, when family relationships are tense, indifferent, or lack effective communication, a child’s inner world may suffer greatly, becoming a breeding ground for psychological issues such as autism.
Parent-Child Interaction: Transmission and Feedback of Love
Parent-child interaction is a direct manifestation of the family atmosphere and a key way for children to learn social skills and establish trust. Effective parent-child interaction should be two-way, with both parental care and guidance, as well as the child’s active response and feedback. However, in real life, many parents, due to busy work schedules and high levels of stress, neglect emotional communication with their children, leading to a distant parent-child relationship where the child’s emotional needs are left unmet.
The Consequences of Neglect: The Covert Hand Behind Autism
Children who lack long-term care and effective interaction may gradually shut the door to their own minds, losing interest and curiosity in the outside world. They may become quiet, reclusive, and may even exhibit symptoms of autism such as social barriers and delayed language development. These seemingly sudden changes are actually the inevitable result of long-term absence of family atmosphere and parent-child interaction.
How to Change? Awakening and Action of Parents
Faced with this stark reality, parents urgently need to awaken and take action. Firstly, create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, making love the main theme of the family. Secondly, strengthen emotional communication with children, pay attention to their inner world, and provide love and support in a timely manner. Additionally, enhancing parent-child relationships through parent-child games, shared reading, and other means can improve children’s social skills and emotional expression abilities.
