FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE FORMATION OF INFANTILE BEHAVIOR IN MODERN YOUTH AND STRATEGIES FOR ITS ELIMINATION

Abstract

This article analyzes the factors contributing to the formation of infantile behavior in modern youth from psychological, social, and spiritual perspectives. Indicators such as emotional instability, a tendency to avoid responsibility, and a lack of independence in decision-making are studied as key indicators of the infantilization process. Furthermore, it is proven that factors like improper upbringing from childhood, excessive parental care, and a lack of life skills in educational institutions play a significant role in the formation of infantile behavior. The article develops practical recommendations for strategies proposed to address this problem, including fostering critical thinking, developing psychological independence, and increasing social responsibility.
