Some parents of obedient children begin to be proud of their own methods of upbringing and even begin to look down on other mothers and fathers.

However, don't rejoice too soon.

Yes, raising an obedient child is a pleasure, but there are also negative aspects.

Why you shouldn't rejoice prematurely

Such children grow up to be obedient adults.

An adult will always actively listen to other people's opinions and adapt to them. Obedient people are easily manipulated.

They are often used for their own purposes. Therefore, you should not put too much pressure on children during the upbringing period: experts recommend leaving room for critical thinking.

Self-esteem issues

Not everyone knows that obedient children often suffer because of their lack of self-confidence. They often doubt themselves.

The thing is that adults could simply “overdo it” during upbringing.

Therefore, it is worth being careful.

Obedient children become mediocre performers

It is almost impossible for such a child to change from his position to one of leadership: he gets used to teachings and recommendations from adults.

When his parents are not around, he simply listens to other people he considers authoritative.
