Parents should pay attention to every stage of the developments of your child. We say many things to them. But we have to take care our words as those words affect their lives. Taking care of our words is one of the best parenting styles. In such a way, let’s check what are the remarks that should not be said to children.
Harsh Words
Parents always cannot speak sweet words to kids. But we can take care of not speaking harsh words to them. Do not speak harsh or aggressive words to children. It causes emotional disturbances in children.
Comparison with Others
Comparing children to others lowers their self-esteem and makes them lose sight of their unique talents.
Excessive Praise
Too much praise and expectations can create stress in children. They may be over conscious about their achievements and they also fall down in their failure. Hence, we must praise our children but excessive praise gives negative impact.
Suppression of Emotions
Don’t tell children phrases such as don’t cry, it’s not a big deal. It teaches children to suppress emotional development.
Promises that cannot be Kept
Making promises to children that cannot be kept leads to distrust in children. So, do not give promises to them, especially for the matter of their study and competitions.
Excessive Swearing
It is not right to scold children excessively to teach them obedience. Excessive warnings given to disobedient children can lead children astray. Reprimands should not be a shout of ‘no’. This will remain a fear in the child’s mind forever.
Geneder Equality
Don’t tell them anything that highlights gender or gender-based inequality. For example, words like you can’t do it because you’re a girl and you can’t do it because you’re a boy. Such talks will always reinforce that difference in their minds.
