“My grandson has a blockage”

The point of view of Marcel Rufo, child psychiatrist

Your grandson has suffered a trauma that should not be underestimated, Henri. What was his mental state before this attack? Did Gabriel seem fragile to you? Hypersensitive? Crippled with fear? Furthermore, he is convinced that with his diplomas, he will find a job. But does he send CVs to employers? Does he have job interviews by videoconference, via his computer? All these elements must also be part of your questioning. If you haven’t already, express your concern to your son. Tell him that you need to be reassured, because you are not familiar with the ways of life of the younger generations. As for the consultation with the psychologist, how was it presented to Gabriel? If the situation appears really worrying to your son (in case your grandson isolates himself in his room without taking any steps outside), it would be very useful for Gabriel to consult, if necessary accompanied by his parents. But you must rely on their evaluation and appreciation. It is through your son that you will be able to follow the development of your grandson, Henri. This way, you will play your role as best as possible.
