MOSCOW, June 1 - RIA Novosti. Children acutely feel the problems of adults, and this overshadows their childhood, child psychologists expressed this opinion to RIA Novosti on the eve of International Children's Day, which is celebrated on June 1.

Psychologists believe that modern children do not have such a carefree and rosy life. "We, the children of 20-30 years ago, for example, could safely go out into the yard and our parents were not worried about what would happen to us there, but today's children cannot do this, because we read the newspapers and we know that there is a maniac, there pedophile. Parents are anxious and this condition is transmitted to children," Tatyana Volosovets, director of the Institute for Psychological and Pedagogical Problems of Childhood, told RIA Novosti.

Head of the Laboratory of Child and adolescence State Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry named after Serbsky Elena Dozortseva notes that children's fears are primarily influenced by "the situation in which the child lives." "If the child is quiet and calm in the family, the parents help him overcome the difficulties that arise, then there are fewer fears," the agency's interlocutor noted. Therefore, the psychologist emphasizes, it is important that everything is fine with the parents, then the children will also be all right.

According to Volosovets, children are concerned about many problems and issues, including relationships with and between parents, and children are also worried if one of the parents has some kind of addiction, for example, alcohol. "They are no less concerned with questions interpersonal communication and relationships with teachers. Children react very sharply to the situation when they are treated inadequately at school, underestimated, scolded," she said.

Children's problems in numbers

According to Pavel Astakhov, Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, in 2010 1,684 children were killed at the hands of criminals, including about 700 murders of children. At the same time, about a hundred criminal cases were initiated last year on the facts of cruel treatment of children and their death.

There are also positive trends. The number of orphans in the Russian Federation, largely due to measures to place orphans in families, has decreased by 35 thousand people over the past five years. In Russia, according to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for 2010, there are 1,387 institutions for orphans, in which more than 82,000 pupils study. Every year about 13,000 children graduate from orphanages, of which up to 95% continue their education in institutions of primary, secondary and higher vocational education, about 5% get a job.
