Emotional and emotional factors of school failure.
We are in the final year for many students. They are all hurry, work at the last minute, study until the end, ... but there are also students that are already overdue, who do not want or rather do not think they can approve or want to try. Some research has shown that between 30 and 50% of school failures are due to emotional causes. This section would include disorders such as depressive tendencies or even depressions, low self-esteem, anxiety disorders, and sometimes more severe complications.
The affective and emotional problem is very powerful and can decompress the person, make her doubt herself and make her feel and convince herself that she does not have much to do and she will never be able to move forward in her studies and not even in his life. Some of the problems occur in family life that alter and neglect the most daring and safe. Special situations such as the death or illness of one of the parents or a loved one, the abandonment, the separation of marriage, the new mating of one of the parents, the birth of a new brother ...
Another factor is the excessive severity or the extreme discipline of the parents, or an excess of perfection that creates that they create very high expectations that the children can not achieve (they must be the best ones). All this can entail a lot of insecurity and little confidence in themselves. On the other side, the excess of protection or that a child is pampered in excess will create a false insecurity that will lead him to doubt and not knowing how to confront the frustrations and limitations that life entails. However, it is not easy to help students with emotional problems because often their impotence or disenchantment put into question personal aspects of those who are at their side, be it teachers, relatives or friends. Sometimes you need some professional help for the son or daughter but also for their relatives. If they become aware of what is happening or has happened at home, they can better understand what student boys suffer and offer them a greater understanding framework that will enable a new way of studying and interacting.
