Understand, Love, and Develop Your Child’s Potential
Are parents certain that they truly understand their children?
Why should parents use psychological assessments for their children as early as possible?
According to reports from numerous domestic studies, 87% of the children in the research sample had psychological problems. In a study of 202 children, 22.8% had depression; 23.7% wanted to commit suicide; 10.4% had mental disorders; 4% had autism; and 2.5% had anxiety. Thus, it is estimated that at least three million children and adolescents in Vietnam have psychological and mental health problems, yet only about 20% of them receive the necessary medical support and treatment. This leads some of the remainder to seek out and use alcohol, tobacco, and drugs to “self-medicate” and alleviate signs of mental disorders, causing their conditions to grow increasingly severe and even pose a danger to society.
According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2020 depression would become the second most damaging disease to human health after cardiovascular disease. Depression is currently on the rise in Vietnam, particularly among young people. So is it really too early to be concerned about your children?
Understanding their children as early as possible helps parents plan a suitable future for them
and prevent them from developing the psychological disorders and depression mentioned above due to pressure from parents and school.
By using psychological support tools as early as possible, parents will no longer have to spend excessive time and money letting their children try out every different area of knowledge and skill. Instead, parents will know their child’s strengths and focus on developing them. Children will be happy when they are able to develop in accordance with their natural inclinations.
Depression is largely caused by parents not understanding their children properly and guiding and educating them according to parental wishes that do not match the child’s capacity to learn and adapt. This creates pressure in the child’s studies and daily life, causing them to become afraid and unwilling to communicate or connect with their parents. Children may also become defiant toward their parents and gravitate toward negative behaviors in everyday life.
Finding and understanding children clearly and correctly from an early age helps parents avoid mistakes in communicating with and educating their children, guide them toward their authentic values, encourage them to openly and confidently express their own views, support healthy psychological development, and maintain a balanced learning process alongside play. Most importantly, parents will become their children's confidants and closest friends!
So, how can parents understand and love their children in the right way?
To love their children in the right way, parents need to understand their children's psychological changes, avoid creating excessive pressure or placing overly high expectations on them, and prevent them from withdrawing into themselves. However, many parents spend a great deal of time trying to achieve this. As our lives continue to develop and improve, parents need appropriate support tools to help them understand their children quickly, accurately, and deeply, so they can promptly guide them toward a future suited to their true abilities without putting them under pressure.
There are currently many tools for assessing human psychology, but finding the right psychological assessment tool helps ensure the most accurate understanding and evaluation. However, every psychological assessment tool has both strengths and areas that still need improvement.
When choosing a support tool, most parents opt for fingerprint biometrics to discover their children's strengths and limitations and read their innate traits based on a stable structure. However, as children interact with their external environment, they are continually influenced by and changed by their current surroundings, gradually becoming different from their original nature. The Uchida-Kraepelin test helps address this concern. As a simple addition-based assessment, it examines the abilities, competencies, and habits established from the beginning—the person's current instinctive nature.
The test can be easily administered to children under 10 years old, helping them objectively express their personality tendencies, social habits, learning abilities, flexibility (whether fast or slow) in handling situations, interests, and emotional intelligence. It helps parents understand their children more deeply, communicate and educate them appropriately, and enable them to absorb and learn quickly and happily. Their future direction can also be adjusted appropriately because they are being encouraged to develop within the right POTENTIAL ZONE of your own.
Parents should note that Uchida-Kraepelin produces entirely objective results, as every diagnostic result is based on what the test-taker demonstrates. The results help parents identify what is suitable for their children; there is no good or bad result.
Uchida-Kraepelin was created and has been widely used to guide and educate children in Japan. Over 73 years of development, it has been used by 62 million people in 14 countries and consistently received the highest評価 for its scientific rigor, validated by Japan's psychiatric research institute using an enormous sample base from 1930 to the present, with continuous scientific improvements, detailed analysis, accuracy controls, and a strong focus on quality.
Furthermore, when you choose to take the UK test at QUEST Institute (established on a foundation of education, training, and human development), with consultation and guidance from social entrepreneur and speaker Tạ Minh Tuấn (with 10 years of experience in human training and development, and founder of YUP Education, an organization providing training and startup support in Vietnam), speaker Lê Nhật Trường Chinh (with more than 18 years of experience in training, human development, organizational development, strategy, and leadership) will help you receive advice and suitable solutions for your child's development. For QUEST, helping children develop their character is a way to help Vietnam's future become a more developed and livable country.
The actions parents choose have a major impact on their children's future and emotional lives. As children mature, the information and beliefs they absorb from the outside world will inevitably influence their perception. Without early and accurate understanding, parents may be both the people who love their children and the people who hurt them because they have not yet found the right way to express that love.
Knowing the truth sooner makes the distance between parents and children seem to disappear, replaced by understanding, love, empathy, and future guidance!
