The Silent Burden: Why "Good Children" Might Be Struggling the Most, According to an Expert
An expert has recently highlighted a critical, yet often overlooked, issue in child development: the psychological burden carried by overly compliant children. In a viral video, parenting specialist Олексій Зуб-Золотарьов asserts, "Good children scare me the most... not those who protest loudly, but those who obediently nod." He explains that children who consistently suppress their true feelings and desires to meet adult expectations often do so at a significant cost to their emotional well-being. "They learn to betray themselves, not for love, but for its illusion," he states, emphasizing that such children may grow into adults who are unsure of their own wants and needs, perpetually striving to please others. The expert suggests that this 'goodness' is often achieved through stifling emotions like anger, tears, and indignation. He warns that a child who never asks for anything actually needs everything, and one who never complains carries the heaviest burden. Зуб-Золотарьов concludes with a powerful call to action: "Let's allow children to be alive. To be different. Angry. Happy. Sad. Inconvenient. Real. Because only a real child can grow into a happy adult." The video underscores the importance of fostering emotional authenticity in children, rather than prioritizing superficial obedience, to ensure their long-term psychological health.
