婴儿也会有压力,压力会改变孩子的大脑。如今,成人与青少年的焦虑和抑郁越来越多。许多科学家认为,这与儿时的经历有关。如果婴幼儿时期承受的压力过多,大脑中的压力应对系统会变得很敏感,好比在大脑中有一个过于灵敏的报警器,一有风吹草动就叫个不停。即使在别人看来,有些压力微不足道,容易应对,但敏感的孩子也会觉得很严重很危险,他们往往小题大做,反应过度。 Babies also get stressed, and stress can change a child’s brain. Nowadays, adults and adolescents have more and more anxiety and depression. Many scientists believe that this is related to childhood experiences. If too much pressure is inflicted on infants and young children, the pressure on the brain can become very sensitive to the system, as in the brain there is an overly sensitive alarm that stops when there is a sign of trouble. Even though others seem to be insignificant and easy to handle, sensitive children can feel very serious and dangerous. They tend to make a fuss and overreact.
