When Li Tongzhou went out, Jiang Min also arrived and was waiting for him outside.
Jiang Min was still wearing the work clothes of the unit, and when she saw her son came out, she immediately walked over and asked a few words in a low voice. Li Tongzhou was a little uncomfortable, so he only shook his head or nodded, and briefly talked to her. Jiang Min had to be more careful, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, where is it?"
Dr. Gao followed closely. After coming out, his attitude was always kind. He smiled and said to Jiang Min, "It's okay, it's just a little stress reaction during the treatment, it's normal."
Jiang Min was a little worried, "Maybe I'm tired, why don't I take him home first?"
Dr. Gao nodded and said, "Okay, if it is convenient for the parents to stay, I want to talk to you."
Jiang Min said: "Then I'll take Xiaozhou to the car first and come back later."
Li Qingcheng sat on the sofa and did not leave. He sat there and discussed a few words with Dr. Gao. The three words he said were inseparable from studying abroad. He was only worried about whether his son would be unstable in the next exam and fail the exam again. .
Dr. Gao said: "After consulting with your child today, I also took some questionnaires. In fact, this test has been done before. The questions on the questionnaire are very simple, and he answered very well within the stipulated time."
Li Qingcheng didn't understand this, he just thought it was the same IQ test as before, and said dissatisfiedly: "He usually performs well, but when he gets to the major test, he performs very badly. In the last high school entrance examination, he was almost I lost all my face and only went to a school like Chengnan."
Dr. Gao said, "Chengnan No. 1 Middle School is a good school in the city."
Li Qingcheng said: "Based on his grades, I originally arranged for the provincial experimental middle school, and I don't know what happened. It was usually fine, but in the last exam, the score was so low! The grades in high school three years were restored. He was stable in the past, but this time in the college entrance examination, I saw that he was going to commit his old problems again, especially this time I wanted to send him to study abroad, so I specially invited a famous teacher to teach him, and it was just a few mock questions, and he did a terrible job.”
Dr. Gao listened patiently, nodded and said: "Adolescence, anything is possible, and he may not be the same as other children, the situation is a bit complicated."
"What's the meaning?"
"I remember when you brought him here for the first time, I took an intelligence test. Your child's IQ is above the average level. Generally speaking, such a person will have a good future success, but if he is guided by others in his adolescence, It's easy to go the wrong way."
Li Qingcheng frowned, "Are you saying that there is something wrong with the friends he knows? But he doesn't know a few classmates, just one or two."
They were chatting when Jiang Min came up in a hurry and sat and listened, with anxiety on her face, worried about her son's affairs. In fact, in the past two years, she feels that her son has no problems. He has made friends at school and his grades are good. Apart from being a little talkative, he is a very perfect child. It's just that her husband is always dissatisfied, he loves face too much, more than loves this family.
Dr. Gao didn't continue talking, but changed the topic and talked about his major, "I gave him some questionnaires today. This test questionnaire has been done before, and it has been done more than once. The answers your children answered. It's the same as before."
Jiang Min asked, "Is this bad?"
Dr. Gao shook his head: "It's very bad, it's impossible for a person to answer questions with the same mentality all the time, so the answer is absolutely impossible to be completely consistent, so his answer, in my opinion, shows that he is lying, It's not a good trend."
Jiang Min was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously denied it: "Impossible, although Xiaozhou doesn't like to talk, he never lies."
Dr. Gao said: "This condition is generally called selective mutism. The reason for the reluctance to speak is usually anxiety, which is a mental illness."
Li Qingcheng frowned slightly. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he heard the word "sickness", as if his child had a problem in some aspect, which was not normal.
"When feeling anxious, there may be confrontation, avoidance, or rigid responses, which will show confrontation. Our treatment plan is to first find out the environment that is easy to cause anxiety, and then use corresponding strategies to encourage children to learn to relax." Dr. Gao said , "Especially in adolescence and adulthood, they will be influenced by the outside world and make wrong social behaviors."
Jiang Min said, "Are you saying that Xiaozhou was excluded from the school?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Of course, in today's consultation, I have always heard him mention a good friend, and there may be a relationship that is more than friendship. Of course, the people who are too close in adolescence are usually girls. In some cases It's normal for a boy to be next, and parents need to pay more attention to his friendship after returning." Dr. Gao showed his signature smile again, as if what he said was no big deal.
The expression on Li Qingcheng's face suddenly froze.
Jiang Min hadn't heard it yet and wanted to ask again, but was quickly reprimanded by Li Qingcheng. Li Qingcheng said with an ugly face: "Don't say it, isn't it shameful enough!"
Dr. Gao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I can understand your feelings, but 'homosexuality' is a mental illness, so it's not a shameful thing, and there are cured cases, so it's nothing."
Li Qingcheng lowered his voice and asked about his treatment.
Dr. Gao said: "I know an expert professor in this field. He opened a treatment center. The current drug therapy and behavior modification cognitive therapy have good results. You can try it."
Li Qingcheng frowned and asked, "Is it quick?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the individual situation, but there is a closed management. I suggest that you can observe the child's usual situation first. After all, the college entrance examination is about to be completed. After the examination is over, you can consider sending it for treatment. Dr. Gao said, "Don't worry, this treatment center has a cooperative relationship with the provincial hospital. It is a separate convalescent institution from the neurology department. The price is slightly more expensive, but the effect is very good."
Jiang Min just reacted, her face was pale, her lips were tight and she did not speak, only her eyes could not focus, she couldn't believe it, but she was unwilling to send her son for treatment, "If, if not..."
Dr. Gao turned to look at her, "Of course, this is also a choice. Children with high IQs are usually perfectionists and have strong self-preference. We assume that the worst consequence is social withdrawal, unable to I don’t need to say more about integrating into society, right?” He spread his hands, “Your parents are the ultimate guardians and relatives of his family, and should play a positive role in guiding him.”
Jiang Min had cold sweat on her forehead, she said with difficulty: "I think it's better to go back and have a good chat with the child and listen to his opinion."
Dr. Gao analyzed some cases with them. Without exception, they were all people who had been "cured" in the sanatorium. He even took out some photos and persuaded them, "Look, the children in these photos. They are very close to their parents, that is because they know that their parents helped them get through a hurdle in life, and the family's relationship is closer, they are grateful to their parents in their hearts, and they can understand that their parents are doing this for their own good. .Like this boy who was treated for internet addiction, he was 14 years old and was discharged from the hospital in two months. Now he is very obedient to his parents... "
Jiang Min listened absent-mindedly.
Li Qingcheng listened to them very seriously. He looked hesitant. Before leaving, he asked Dr. Gao for a business card of the sanatorium.
On the way back, Jiang Min discussed with Li Qingcheng: "I don't think you can just listen to what Dr. Gao has to say. When you go back, don't blame the child first, talk to him slowly, or let me talk to him. ?"
She was intent on maintaining it, but Li Qingcheng didn't know what he was thinking, so he just nodded casually, turned his head to look out the car window and frowned without saying a word.
Even with such an attitude, Jiang Min was relieved.
When he got home, Li Qingguo went into the bedroom without saying a word.
Jiang Min poured a glass of juice, took it to Li Tongzhou's room, and knocked on the door. Hearing a promise from inside, he pushed the door in.
Li Tongzhou was reading the book in the room, putting his mobile phone aside, when he saw her coming in, he called Mom.
Jiang Min gave him the juice. She had already thought about it on the way. If there was one person who had a close relationship with Li Tongzhou, it would be Guo Jingyu. She sat aside and asked in a low voice, "Xiaozhou, how are you and Jingyu recently?"
Li Tongzhou said, "It's fine, what's wrong?"
Jiang Min is engaged in scientific research. She stays in the laboratory all day and doesn't know how to communicate with the current children. She was a little cautious for a while, "That's right, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I want to ask."
Li Tongzhou said: "He just came a few days ago."
Jiang Min: "Oh, yes?"
"Well, he has a professional qualification certificate from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts."
Jiang Min was a little surprised, and she dispelled more than half of her doubts about Guo Jingyu for a while. She still had an old concept. She always felt that whether a child who fell in love with a child was a boy or a girl, his grades would be affected. She jumped from the bottom to the top three in the school, which really surprised her. "Jingyu is so powerful, so it seems that he has been studying hard recently. Do art students have lower grades in cultural courses?"
Li Tongzhou said: "Yes, it's more than two hundred points lower."
Jiang Minny said: "That's great, it's worth celebrating to be able to attend such a good school."
Li Tongzhou was silent for a moment and said to her: "Mom, I don't want to study abroad, I want to stay in China, I already have a good school."
In fact, Jiang Min heard her son talk about this issue once or twice before. She sighed and persuaded in a low voice, "Actually, your dad is doing it for your own good. He thinks that you will have a better future after going out for a few years."
Li Tongzhou said: "But I don't like the school and major he chose."
Jiang Min suddenly remembered what Dr. Gao mentioned about "lying". She carefully observed Li Tongzhou and asked, "Xiaozhou, is it because you don't want to study abroad, so your dad asked you to do the mock papers on purpose a few times before. Poor in the exam? Actually, mom knows that you don't like changing environments, and I also think that the country is good, otherwise, you should take the exam well, this time as long as you can... "
Li Tongzhou looked at her quietly, and Jiang Min suddenly felt less confident. She felt uncomfortable and her eyes were sore. She always felt that the children didn't owe them anything, but they were always doing what they asked. too much.
