Children of highly critical parents....

Children of highly critical parents show less attention to facial expressions.  According to research from Binghamton University New York, children of highly critical parents, avoid paying attention to faces expressing any type of emotion.  This could lead to a risk of anxiety and depression. 
Researchers had parents talk about their children (ages 7 to 11) for 5 minutes.  They then used a scale to measure the level of critical talk.  They then measured the children's response to pictures of faces showing different emotions.
People tend to avoid things that make them uncomfortable, anxious or sad.  Children with critical parents use these avoidant behaviors which can also prevent them from seeing the positive emotions and conditions around them.

LENS neurofeedback can help to rearrange the inflexible part of the brain.  We can see life in a better way.
