The jealousy of the children towards the couple!



The jealousy of the children towards the couple is more common than you think. You've probably witnessed some scene in your family and even found it funny or worried about the issue.


This feeling, which is common to all of us, begins to be seen by the age of two to three and presents itself through varied behaviors and attitudes. Each child will feel it and manifest it in a different way. 
The common example are the children trying to sleep between the parents and also not allowing kisses and hugs between them. This moment requires a lot of affection and attention from the couple.

As soon as the child grows up the jealousy change, in fact we can see it controlled and concealed. It's important for the parents to explain, defining the feeling, trying to understand why they are feeling it and how to express it in the most appropriate way.

Children need to be aware of what they feel and from that to be able to identify their emotions and how to handle them. So it's important that the parent names the emotion that the child is experiencing. It's also relevant to explain the consequences, emotional or physical, that his behabiour has in you. 
From a young age, children should learn that their behaviour has consequences for the parents.

This process does not mean that they will no longer feel jealous, but they will be able to identify what they are feeling and so express them in a healthy way.

See you next time,
