3 Phrases That Make Kids Feel Guilty: Moms and Dads Shouldn't Say Them
06.06.2023 05:20
Sometimes even good parents make mistakes when communicating with their child.
One carelessly thrown phrase can provoke a feeling of guilt in a child.
Moreover, it is not a fact that this will happen in the case where the child is really guilty of something.
If parents do not want their son or daughter to develop complexes, it is better not to use the following phrases.
"You have disappointed me"
You can’t tell this to a child, especially if he’s already ashamed of something.
Most likely, the baby himself understands that he made a mistake that needs to be corrected.
There is no need to make him doubly guilty. On the contrary, it makes sense to morally support the child.
"Father left us because of you"
Many married couples get divorced. This is a common occurrence.
In this case, the mother should in no way blame the child for what happened.
Otherwise, the baby will consider himself somehow "wrong". And this cannot be allowed.
"Because of you, we lost so much money!"
Motherhood and fatherhood are happiness. But, on the other hand, it is responsibility and numerous problems.
It is clear that the family is forced to spend a lot of money on the child. But the child is not obliged to immediately show gratitude and somehow "work off" it.
If you raise a child correctly and don't shower him with accusations, he will definitely appreciate the efforts of his parents. If not right away, then in the future - for sure.
