There is “space” for debate.
The “children in the living room” and the “children in the bedroom” have gained popularity on social media, as parents are discussing the terms and what they reveal about the dynamics of the family.
A child in the living room is a child who spends most of his time at home in shared spaces such as the living room, the kitchen or the dining room.
In the meantime, a boy in the bedroom spends most of the time in the privacy offered by his own space.
About the “How are you married?” Podcast, the marriage co-amfifters Yvette and Glen Henry discussed what their children were like in the kitchen while Yvette was preparing for dinner.
“I am like, already, we have almost 4,000 square feet here and you are right here.
“I don’t think I always appreciate what I have in this situation,” he realized. “Like the gift of all this union that we are going to look at one day and say:” Oh, I do not miss it. “”
Whether your child is a living room like a bedroom in the bedroom is more deeper than where time spends, it’s ready because They spend their time in these spaces.
As the Henrys explained in the subtitle of the Instagram video, which has obtained 1.2 million views, “the children in the living room feel safe”: they are “strong, strong, all below you because they belong here” and they do not try to escape anything. The space that is at “feels at home”.
On the other hand, they wrote that the children in the bedroom retire, isolate and silently “because the shared space does not feel as if it were for them.”
“Listen, we are not saying that the personality of all children is the same,” they clarified. “But sometimes the disaster, the constant talk, the chaos of your living room? This is the sound of safety. Of comfort. Of connection.”
Whitney Raglin Bignall, an associate clinical director of the Children’s Mental Health Foundation, a profit that promotes children’s mental health, coincided with the feeling that parents should feel -their children feel comfortable enough to be in these shared spaces.
He also said that children can spend more time in their rooms to avoid stressors caused by family conflict.
“Safety could play a role,” he said to USA Today, adding that other factors could also play the situation, such as the child’s age, personality, culture or the time of year.
For example, some people are naturally more introverted than others, and some prefer more lonely activities such as reading.
Children could choose to spend more time to relax in the rooms during the school year, Dr. Thomas Priolo, a childhood psychiatrist at Hackensack Meridian Health, explained to the departure, as they are more socially stimulated by school and extracurricular activities when they are away from home.
As children enter their preteen and teenagers, they usually retire to their rooms because “they will want to be more independent and feel responsible for themselves, and having a space for themselves in their room allows them to take control,” said Priolo. “As children grow older, it becomes more important and a more conscious decision.”
Some families may have designated game rooms for children to spend time as parents are developed in the so -called “adult spaces”.
“It is also how families accept and host children’s game, their toys and personal articles in communal living spaces instead of requesting that they stay in their separate rooms or spaces,” Dr. Martha Deiros Collado, a clinical psychologist, told Newsweek.
He added that allowing toys and games in communal spaces “send a strong message that children are not mini adults. They communicate: children also live here and let them occupy both space and adults.”
However, Priolo said that it is not bad to have a child who wants to spend more time in his bedroom, but red flags should be raised if a child who usually spends time in shared spaces begins to remove in his bedroom.
“Instead of seeing -as a” room “verse children of the bedroom,” the best way to see -it is at home and ensure that children feel safe, regardless of where they are, “he said.
Raglin Bignall added that it is OK from a “father of the living room” to a “father of the bedroom” from time to time to recharge, especially since it can become overwhelming.
“Everyone needs breaks. You can’t have people around you all the time,” said Raglin Bignall. “It’s great to have community and family time and build family belonging, but it’s also important to think when you make sure you have time to fill the cup.”
