How to prevent children's autism
1. Parents should not keep their children in a small circle of study.
The modernization of urban living makes many people move into high-rise buildings, and high-rise buildings one door by one are easy to create a closed environment for children. Therefore, children should be allowed or encouraged to come down from the high-rise buildings to the courtyard, play, communicate with neighbors or nearby children, and establish friendship.
2. Try to involve children in group activities.
Group activities include games and homework invited by neighbors and children; cultural and sports activities organized by schools and classes; birthday celebrations for students and teachers, etc. Cultivate children's character from collective activities and experience friendship, wisdom and warmth from collective activities.
3. Some children are introverted and don't like talking. Parents create conditions for their children to make friends.
Not only should children be allowed to walk down high buildings and out of the house, but also children should be allowed to enter the house. Provide opportunities for children to make friends and teach them the art, methods and skills of making friends.
4. To cultivate children's self-reliance, parents should not be responsible for everything.
Let children learn to do their own things, and deliberately let children hit a nail, taste the pain, in order to hone children's willpower.
