How a strict regimen and schedule of the day can harm a child: opinion of psychologist Dmitry Karpachev

The heroine of the Supermama project is Sofia, a business woman, mother of two children and an ardent admirer of time management. In their family, everything is on schedule, neither parents nor children have a free minute! How dangerous it can be - said Dmitry Karpachev.

Sofia is the real queen of time management. In the life of the heroine, everything is planned out to the smallest detail, including the activities of the children, their meetings with their grandmother, walks, sleep and meals.

For Sofia, planning is synonymous with comfort. This allows her not only to be a mother, but also to engage in two businesses at once - an advertising agency and her own clothing brand.

But what does such a tight schedule threaten children with?

Discipline and routines are very important elements of parenting, but at least a third of the time is the time children should spend the way they want. You need to understand that when a child is bored, important processes take place. He begins to understand what he wants. And when all the time a child is engaged in what is being lowered to him from above, he may have a problem with independent decision-making, with an understanding of what he personally wants and what he does not want. Charts are very good, but there should be free time

- says Dmitry Karpachev.
