Thus, personal development is a lasting process that is preferable to extend throughout life, starting from the first years of life, being influenced by parents, teachers, belonging groups and the environment.

We can't help but discuss the benefits of personal development, referring primarily to the results of studies that show that one in four children presents a form of anxiety, as well as to the impulsivity that little ones currently have, to the way they show their emotions that affect their lives, how they spend their free time or how they behave at school. These are just some of the problems they face because they don't know effective ways to manage their own emotions.“, adds the psychologist from Ieşe.
