Your child often finds it difficult to draw attention to themselves and may feel invisible or 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 content of their fantasies. Careful selection of movies, television programs, and other entertainment is important—or at the very least, these should be viewed together with the child.
The child may find it hard to see the “real” father. They might perceive their father as almost saintly, and when they realize this is not the case, they may feel deeply disappointed.
