The child's success is influenced by the proper functioning of the frontal lobes of the brain. This is the executive director of our psyche, controlling behavior. It is responsible for a person's success. How a child will be able to make friends, learn, interact at home and in society depends on the work of the frontal lobes of the brain. I will try to explain. The frontal cortex is associated with the ability to predict and plan the next day, adjust behavior in accordance with the goals set, for controlling one's behavior in general, as well as for decision-making skills, attention and inhibition. The frontal cortex is formed throughout the child's life up to the age of 21. It happens that under certain circumstances these lobes are poorly developed and it is difficult for the child to control himself and then he needs the help of specialists. If you notice such manifestations in a child as:
  • inattention;
  • the child is easily distracted;
  • responds impulsively before thinking;
  • repeats the same mistakes;
  • constant tantrums;
  • it is difficult to make choices, express opinions;
  • poor memory;
  • problems with mood control;
  • lack of self-control and internal discipline;
  • tardiness, forgetfulness, absent-mindedness.
There is a possibility that this may be related to poor functioning of the frontal lobes, and then seek advice from a psychologist. The text was prepared by Inna Degtyareva, psychologist at the Alter Ego psychotherapy center.
