Dr. Maurya says that many times parents get upset thinking that their child is lagging behind in studies, learns things gradually compared to others or hesitates to get mixed up in society. In such a situation, it is important that we should not compare it to anyone else but understand it and pay special attention as per its need. He said that the mental state of children can be improved by measures like behavior therapy and other therapy. Also, by making some small changes at home, they can be given a comfortable environment. For example, communicating with a child daily, encouraging him in activities of his choice, appreciating him on his small achievements.
Apart from this, he also told that yoga, meditation and creative activities like – painting, music, clay toys etc. are helpful in the mental development of children. If the school teachers and members of the house create a collaborative environment together, then the child can soon show positive changes. He also emphasized that the negative thinking about mentally weak children in the society needs to be changed. Every child has some special quality. Just need to identify it and give the right direction. In the closing, Dr. Maurya said that if we understand our children, listen to them and guide them without judging, then they can not only live a normal life, but also make their place in society.
