Why are kids becoming more silent at home?​

Have you noticed your once lively and chatty child turning silent at home? There could be several reasons for this change. A tense family atmosphere, filled with constant arguments or cold wars, can make a child feel uneasy and cautious. Overly strict parenting, where even minor mistakes are met with harsh criticism, can instill fear in children. Moreover, when children share their thoughts and experiences, and parents dismiss them or interrupt, kids may start to believe their opinions don't matter. Silence then becomes their silent protest, a way of rebelling against their parents' behavior. Understanding these signs can help parents create a more supportive and communicative home environment.
