Psikologi di Sebalik 'Story-telling'

The story of Tok's father showering in the rain: the psychologist behind the 'story'

My oldest son is 6 years old and recently experienced 'rain phobia'. Every time it rains he will win, he will run across the room and cover his ears. Syomun started when he was trapped in a glass-walled payment booth at a hotel during heavy rain. Yes, a very strong hurricane was bound to come when the glass door to the room shattered and their eyes lined up.

Various psychological techniques that I learned I practiced with my son to deal with the 'trauma' he experienced. Teach him to pray, synthesis methods, breathing techniques to 'inflate balloons' and gradually expose him to what gives him phobia. Although it helps, there is still a bit of fear. Every time it rains, the glasses will look at the coins in fear of the sound of the rain hitting the roof. So quietly he ran across the room.

But in the end it became clear that one technique was really effective in removing his fear. If his father's tok knew of the "wounds", his father's tok brought him to his knees as he told the story of his father's tok bathing in the kechiv-kechiv past.

I myself cringe when I know that I do not leave the house for a long time, when it rains, my son asks permission to leave the house. many of them want to be friends with the rainwater that falls from the roofs. Little by little, he finally drenched Hainen with rainwater. I am in love with sikmeni.

What power resides in children!

An American research center, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, has been doing a study on the effects of "telling stories" and that is, that humans are capable of

Like my son's previous story, although the message is the same: 'So there is something to be afraid of in the rain', the message of the story of taking a rain shower enters his mind more easily. Alhamdulillah.

I hope you do the same, parents and children. Tell them stories, either from children's storybooks or from your own life. Make your story your way, but appreciate the challenge e-mail for your life arrangements. Do not outsource this to youtube!

In addition, the study of child psychology also shows that giving full attention to children is valued:

• Language development
• power memory
• emoticon development
• This provides a space to 'escape from one's world', especially for traumatized children (Heider, 1944).

Cuba, we are allowed, is it possible that there are so many stories that Allah recorded in the Al-Qar'an for us?
