TUTO PEDOPSY enfants à comportement tyrannique N° 1 : Qu'est-ce-que le comportement tyrannique ?

The REACT Association – (Reacting to Children and Adolescents with Tyrannical Behavior) – has produced a new series of child psychology tutorials presented by Dr. Nathalie Franc, a practitioner in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Saint Eloi Hospital. Discover the series of 7 tutorials to help you better understand this situation. A child is considered to have tyrannical behavior when the family hierarchy is reversed: the child takes control of the family home, and the parents are hindered in their decision-making and actions. This behavior does not stem from a lack of parenting or boundaries and should be distinguished from the phenomenon of the "spoiled child." Often intellectually gifted, children with tyrannical behavior present with documented and recognized disorders, the central dimensions of which are generally emotional dysregulation and anxiety: EDD (Emotional Disorder), ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), SAD (Separation Anxiety Disorder), learning disabilities, conduct disorder, and others. The emotional regulation difficulties associated with these disorders manifest primarily (often exclusively) within the family home through a total intolerance of frustration, excessive anger, manipulation, etc. Most often from early childhood, the child's sense of omnipotence gradually takes hold and can result in physical violence (aggression, vandalism, etc.), verbal violence (insults, threats, etc.), and/or psychological violence (harassment, blackmail, intimidation, etc.). Generally concerned about social perception, children outside the home may adapt their behavior to avoid judgment. Their difficulties are therefore often invisible to outsiders, undermining parents' efforts to seek help. Consequently, we are often poorly heard or understood. Furthermore, these children are generally reluctant to confront their problems and unmotivated by therapy, making the home a place where the child exerts absolute power over their parents and siblings.
