How Not to Raise a Daughter: 5 Parental Mistakes That Make a Girl Unhappy
15.03.2024 00:30
Every parent dreams of their child growing up to be a happy person.
But mistakes are often made in upbringing, due to which the child is deprived of a good future.
Both the boy's parents and the girl's parents can make a mistake.
In this article, we will pay attention to the mistakes often made by those who raise a daughter.
What shouldn't you do to prevent a girl from becoming unhappy?
Intimidation
Wanting to achieve this or that result from their daughter, parents often intimidate the child.
It may be effective. But if you go too far, you can raise a person with complexes and lack of independence.
Therefore, the following phrases are unacceptable: “If you get a bad grade, we will punish you,” “You have no right to be friends with this classmate, otherwise…”
This phrase is especially dangerous: “When you grow up, you will have to get married before you are 30, otherwise you will remain alone.”
Devaluation of activities
If a girl has chosen some hobby for herself, there is no need to tell her that it is useless.
Don't say the following: "And why do you need this acrobatics/aerobics/athletics?"
Let your daughter do what she wants. Perhaps this is the area where she will be able to realize herself.
Attempts to humiliate
Don't call your child "clumsy" or criticize him for minor mistakes.
If you humiliate your daughter like this, it will be difficult for her to learn something new (for example, cooking or sewing), because she will be afraid of making a mistake and “disgracing herself.”
"You have a big nose"
Don't criticize the girl's appearance. She is not to blame for any flaws. Moreover, everything is subjective.
On the contrary, try to compliment your child. But pay attention not only to her appearance, but also to her intelligence, as well as to the successes your daughter has achieved.
"My poor..."
Try not to say this phrase, otherwise you will “program” the girl for unhappiness.
