Job stress, overwhelm and lack of interest: A trauma counselor now shares what her little patients really think about their parents.

That goes to the heart and kidneys.

“Becoming a parent isn't difficult, being a parent is even more difficult”: This saying will certainly make many mothers and fathers groan.

Because even if it sounds trite at first, some still feel addressed by it.

Some would even nod in the affirmative.

It is not uncommon for a parent to feel overwhelmed when raising their offspring.

Children unpack about their parents: "My mother's heart bleeds so much"

Added to this is the pressure from outside: they are called “helicopter parents” or “lawnmower parents”, and well-intentioned advice is poured in from all sides.

Sometimes you get so caught up in your mind spiral that you lose sight of family happiness.

On the other hand, we are so distracted by countless social media channels that we sometimes spend hours in the virtual world and forget everything around us.

In both scenarios, the result is similar: you spend less and less time with your loved ones.

The little ones in particular suffer from this.

Some then change, their behavior becomes more aggressive or the children are very withdrawn.

But they all have in common that they secretly do not feel loved and understood.

Then child and adolescent psychologists and personal coaches who specialize in trauma management are on hand.

One of them is Courtney, who experienced traumatic experiences at an early age and now works with children and teenagers.

She shares her experiences from therapy with her half a million followers on TikTok.

She recently posted a video showing notes or post-its from people seeking help.

They are all meant to be true statements that her little clients said to her.

Most of the time it's about the parents not being interested enough in them.

For example, a six-year-old writes, “I wish I was as important to my parents as their phone is.” A thirteen-year-old writes, “If I annoy my mom, it's because I want attention.

I can't get it any other way."

Another 7-year-old was particularly touching, with a post-it reading: "My dog ​​gets more attention than me.

Dad says it's because he can't speak.

That's why I stopped speaking."
