If a woman suffers from an infectious disease, poisoning, malnutrition, abdominal trauma during pregnancy, or if the child is born with suffocation, hypoxia, dystocia, birth injuries, etc., some children may develop psychological disorders.

The second is the lack of formal education in kindergarten. Relatively speaking, the children in the three kindergartens are lively, cheerful, sociable, disciplined and polite. Such children generally do not have any serious psychological disorders, while some home-based children will appear overly shy and afraid of seeing people. Once they are in an unfamiliar environment, they will find it difficult to adapt, which will lead to psychological disorders.

The third factor is family environment. The causes of children's psychological disorders are closely related to family environment factors. Generally speaking, children from disharmonious families or divorced parents will have inferiority complex, depression, eccentric personality, irritability, etc., which will cause abnormal psychology in children; improper education methods are also the main cause of children's psychological disorders. Some parents are indulgent and submissive to their children, which will cause children to develop proud, selfish, willful and bad character; another reason is inconsistent education methods.
