What are the ninis ? Beyond the figures that are handled about the number of adolescents who do not carry out any productive activity and who are categorized with the term "ninis", it is necessary to emphasize that the fact of being inactive causes serious damages in the brain.

When the children remain oblivious to any responsibility such as working or studying, they develop an addiction to hypoactivity, that is, to remain static without making any effort.

The doctor Hans Olvera, researcher at the Universidad Iberoamericana, explains that "all human beings have brain preparation periods and this responds to what they are exposed to".

In the case of inactivity stops producing neurotransmitters that are important to stay active, for this reason the ninis quickly abandon the tasks assigned to them and are not constant in anything, says the specialist.

In addition, substances such as noradrenaline act in a wrong way, since generally among its functions is to generate a healthy basic anguish that alerts about the importance of doing something, but in the ninis its effect is completely negative, creating intense anxiety and depression.

Parents, the main support

For a hypoactive boy the risks are countless and not limited to lack of a trade or profession, they are also susceptible to developing substance addiction, "because drugs are a stimulant that allows them to experience what they are not and replace the reality they have and that anguishes them, "explains the specialist.

To overcome this condition, parents are the main support. According to Hans Olvera, they from the psychological point of view must fulfill two basic tasks, the first is to provide the inheritance and upbringing, that is, they engender the children and give them sustenance.

The second responsibility that is the most important and which the "ninis" lack, is to teach them the paternal and maternal inscription so that they are socially adapted; it consists in transmitting the feminine and masculine emotional characteristics that help us to cope with life ".

From his parents, a boy learns tenderness, expressions of affection, perseverance, the importance of setting an objective and maintaining it, internal strength, to develop his self-esteem and tolerance to frustration, but in the case of the "ninis" "It becomes their psychological failure to lack them.

However, to help him, it is necessary for parents to understand that it is not enough to provide them only materially, they must perform a self-diagnosis about how much they exercise their role as parents, whether from parenting and inheritance or from the promotion of the father and maternal.

"The clearest symptom that there is a failure in the inscription of the paternal and maternal is having a" nini "at home, this means that the messages sent to the boy did not bear fruit and something must be done about it.

"Approaching a specialist is the first step to diagnose if there is no depressive, anxious or paranoid, to really help you re-establish your active life," says Hans Olvera.

The responsibility of parents has no expiration date, even when they are able to do things for themselves, they always require love, encouragement, understanding and validation of their loved ones, elements that become their best heritage.
