What Are the Common Sources of Self-Imposed Pressure?
Several factors contribute to self-imposed pressure in children. These can include:
1. Academic Expectations: High standards for academic achievement can lead children to push themselves excessively. 2. Extracurricular Activities: Sports, music, and other hobbies can become sources of stress when children feel they must excel. 3. Parental Expectations: Even well-meaning parents can inadvertently contribute to self-imposed pressure by setting high expectations. 4. Peer Comparisons: Social dynamics and the desire to fit in or stand out can lead children to set unrealistic goals for themselves.
