Hurried Child Syndrome
from Mother's Gurukul Podcast · host Alpana Deo
A few days ago, I came across a term – Hurried child syndrome. Have you heard about it? Psychologist Dr. David Elkind first discussed this term in his book The Hurried Child. As parents, we have a list of words or phrases we should and shouldn’t use. Good job, well done, bravo, you can do it, and give your best are a few from the list. Along with this, there is one more word that parents use all the time – “Hurry up.” Do you agree? What are your thoughts about these words? I feel “hurry up” is more of a command than just two words. In this episode, we will talk about HSC, how do we know if the child is experiencing HSC, if saying hurry up to your child good or bad and what are the few to avoid saying it.
