A Psychoanalytic Probe into Pre-birth vs. Post-birth Learning and Discourse Disorders in Young Children: Reasons and Remedies

Abstract

Aim of the Study: The purpose of the study was to determine how parents’ mental health affected their child’s early learning and speech development and ascertain the reasons behind parents' low empathy and unfavorable expectations for their children.

Methodology: Using a qualitative study approach, information regarding the common causes and contributing factors of anxiety among parents has been gathered from a variety of couples with diverse backgrounds through the use of questionnaires and open ended interviews. Subsequently, the effects of parents' apprehension on children have been noted through firsthand observations and conversations with parents and children to examine different learning and speech deficits in them.

Findings: The study showed that while anxiety is common emotions among parents who are or wish to be parents, the effects of this anxiety differ according to the parents' age, socioeconomic status, and family structure. According to the data analysis, male participants are more likely than female participants to have impairments during the first two years of life due to their parent's lack of responsiveness; however, male participants are more likely to have focus issues following the first two years of life. The male to female ratio in terms of impairments remains higher beyond age six, perhaps due to the fact that their caretakers were less sensitive or nervous when they were younger.

Conclusion: Numerous noteworthy investigations shed light on the mental health disorders of parents or primary careers, which might negatively impact a child's ability to learn, particularly when it comes to discourse. This article addresses several paternal issues that negatively impact a child's mental pictures and disrupt their ability to learn, resulting in internal conflicts that impede the child's ability to express themselves and communicate with.
