The point I want to make is that teachers and parents are there to guard their kids and that is their biggest role in our lives.
They are guardians of our life.
The problem starts happening when parents and teachers start using their ways to protect their children. One of the most common ways is to protect our children through fear.
The adults (mostly parents and teachers) in our lives teach fear to us. All children pick up the habit of avoiding new situations if their parents’ express anxiety or display other indicators of fear towards them. Most of the children pick up a phobia by observing their parents’ reactions to them. For example, a youngster may become too fearful to travel alone because of repeated reminders to ‘be careful’ in the outside world. The degree to which children feel free to be who they are and confidently explore the world is also influenced by the actions of adults. Harsh parenting, which includes both physical and verbal abuse, is linked to worse results for kids, such as underachievement in school, increased anxiety and aggression, and strained peer relationships.
Similarly, teachers also play a crucial role in the development of fear responses among kids.
Many students feel nervous or afraid in different ways when they are in the classroom. We often label the new generation as bold, carefree, and rude, what we forget is that there are different sides to their personalities. If we don’t pass judgments just based on our observations and spend time knowing them, we will understand how even the boldest student in the class has some kind of fear. Different students feel nervous or afraid in different ways when they are in school Many adjust quickly but many are always in fear. Fear starts interfering with their capacity to learn in school. In many cases, some children have persistent or chronic anxiety and fear, which can make it difficult for them to comprehend their books, needed for academic success.
Many children believe that they could perform poorly, and they are excessively afraid of it. Even the toppers or high performers are clouded by the anxiety of washing out on the next unit test or exam.
Some students are always worried. They tell themselves, “My classmates are going to do better than me” and become unduly stressed out by the need to outperform others to receive passing grades. Children often exhibit excessive shyness or even fear of being singled out during class. Many of us experience a syndrome called gelotophobia, which is the fear of being laughed at by others. The seeds of this syndrome are sowed in our childhood.
Many students even have anxieties that are reinforced by their caste, culture, and region.
