Your child may often find it difficult to draw attention to themselves and can feel uncertain about their abilities. They may struggle to understand themselves, which can lead to deep confusion. In such moments, they might retreat into their own, self-created world. For adults interacting with such children, it is crucial to clearly distinguish between reality and the child’s fantasies. Careful selection of movies, television programs, and other entertainment is necessary—or at least watching them together with the child.
The child may have difficulty perceiving the “real” father, and might even withdraw. It is possible the child sees the father as almost saintly, and feels disappointed upon realizing this is not the case.
