Syndrome of an honors pupil (or honors pupil) - inherent in some children and adults property, exaggerate their abilities, idealize them, while focusing on some pattern of behavior. In other words, the complex of an honors pupil can be called the perfectionism typical of many children, especially teenagers in transition.
Behavior of a child with an excellent pupil's syndrome
A child with an excellent pupil's syndrome does not need to be persuaded to work longer, read more books and often learn the scales prescribed in a music school. Without advice from the side, such a child understands the need for study. There is no need to set such a child as an example. Usually, a child with an excellent pupil's syndrome constantly has it in front of her eyes and tries every way to imitate him. However, interest in learning and the desire to achieve better results negatively affects the ability of such a child to socialize. In connection with the fact that a child with an excellent student's syndrome makes excessive demands on his peers, he either does not communicate with classmates at all, or is not able to communicate with them on an equal footing. The main problem with excellent students is that they can not treat others as equals.
How to help a child get rid of the complex / syndrome of an excellent pupil?
- Stop supporting the child's belief in his own uniqueness. (In such cases it is very dangerous to talk, you are not like everyone else, you are the best.)
- It is often to be with a child in companies where there are peers. (In this case, it is important for the child to know that his parents treat his parents' parents with respect, otherwise the effect of such communication will be zero.)
- Maintain a child's communication with peers. (But not in the form of "Give up your textbooks, go to the courtyard better!", Since in this case the child will even more sit for books.
If the child does not like helping with household chores, say that do not let him go with a class to tour another city or movie if he does not wash dishes after dinner for a week. At such statement of a question, the child at once will want to do or make that earlier at all it would not be desirable.) - Do not try to shake the ideal child, pointing out his shortcomings. (If an unknown star is an idol for a child, constantly bring new information about it, clippings from magazines, posters. The more this material the child receives, the faster his passion goes. And if the ideal of the child is among your acquaintances, impose a child with this person. Do not protect the child from contact with such personal persons, otherwise the ideal will acquire an even greater aura of holiness. And this is too dangerous.)
