Raising children is hard enough, and it's even harder to control yourself during communication.
Many parents forget that a child thinks completely differently, and this is especially evident in the first years of life.
But even after reaching adolescence, it is necessary to be careful in communication and refrain from extremes.
Let's look at a list of phrases that are best not to say to a child if you want to preserve the integrity of his psyche.
What you shouldn't say to a child
These are the phrases.
- Swearing from and between parents. Swearing towards one of the parents and especially towards the child is especially harmful.
- Comparison. You can't say that a brother or sister is better than the second child or that other children are better.
- Condition for love. Phrases when a parent says that he will love the child if he does something, have a negative effect on the child's self-esteem.
- False information: Attitudes like “men don’t cry” or “girls should stay at home” have a negative impact.
- Mockery. Even if the mockery is said as a joke, the child may not understand it - they have a different sense of humor.
