What is institutional personality deprivation? In the name of discipline or rules, it systematically and long-term denies and suppresses a child's status as an independent individual, thereby damaging the foundation of their personality. It mainly damages three aspects: first, it weakens the sense of dignity, causing the child to gradually believe they do not deserve respect, making them more likely to accept unfair treatment in the future; second, it affects their understanding of authority, leading children to either blindly obey authority or go to extremes in resistance; third, it reduces their awareness of boundaries, causing them to lose the ability to refuse unreasonable demands, making them more vulnerable to manipulation and harm. To repair this damage, the key is to help children regain their judgment, make them understand that rules can also be problematic, distinguish between "obedience" and "legitimacy," gradually establish clear personal boundaries, and re-form a healthy personality structure through exposure to rational, communicable authority.
