Why early intervention is important for child development?

A True Case study:

Female 37 years old, was recently diagnosed that her whole life is suffering from learning disorder and other psychological problems such as personality disorder (split personality).

In fact, some of the signs and symptoms had manifested since her young age, but were not noticed by the parents. For example she is unable to draw a straight line using a ruler, and cannot hold a cup of water properly while she is walking.


All these while she tries to fit herself into a normal lifestyle, instead of joining the special education system for people who needs special skills and technique to cope with their live. She has gone through a lot of obstacles and failures, which caused a lot of “psychological scars” and emotional imbalance, that lead her into split personality.


In order to cover up her shortcomings, she has to put up a strong defense mechanism. She is putting on a false self in her living life and she is not congruent, and this has caused her to lose her authentic true self, ultimately leading her into psychotic depression, resulting in split personality disorder, such as playing two roles alternating between male & female.


Therefore early intervention is crucial for child development as it has a great impact in adulthood. Early child intervention can help a child to have a brighter life shining like a sunflower, or a unique life blossom like a champagne lotus.




早期治疗对孩子的成长过程有何巨大的影响?
真实案例:


有一位37岁的女士, 近期才被诊断出她是一位学习障碍者。 同时,她还面对着其它的心理问题,例如:人格分裂症。


其实在她年幼的时期,有某一些学习障碍的症状与迹象已从她的身上展现出来。例如她无法用尺把一条直线画好,也无法把渗有水的杯子捧好,常常把杯子里的水溢出来。然而,她的父母却从未察觉/正视这些问题,从中给予适当的协助。


这些年来,她都很努力地去适应正常人的生活方式,而不是接受适合她的特殊教育。所以,在学习的过程中,她面对了不必要的失败与挫折。而这些失败的经验,在她的生命里留下了无数的心理创伤以及情绪失衡,到最后导致她患上了人格分裂症。


为了掩饰她的短处,她加强了自己的防御机制。她常常戴着假面具示人,而且言行与举止不一致。长期下来,她渐渐地失去了真实的自我。这导致她患上了精神抑郁症,而且逐渐演变成人格分裂症(例如她一人能同时演绎男人与女人的声调)。


总结来说,早期治疗对孩童的成长过程是很关键的, 因为它将会影响您的一生。正确的早期治疗,可让孩子们的生命有如向日葵般,充满着朝气与正面的力量!也像香槟色的荷花般特出!
