How Not to Raise a Child: 4 Popular Methods That Don't Work
27.03.2024 00:30
Raising a child is a complex process in which it is easy to make mistakes.
There are entire educational methods that can be called wrong.
So, which popular approaches are wrong?
What methods of education, contrary to popular belief, do not produce any results and only harm the child?
Excessive strictness
Moderate strictness is quite acceptable. After all, sometimes a naughty child needs to be convinced of the need to perform a particular action (do homework, clean the room, etc.).
But you shouldn't go too far. Sometimes, instead of punishing, you should just talk to your child and perhaps make some concessions.
And you can't punish a child seriously. Temporary bans on using a smartphone are acceptable. Intimidation and corporal punishment are not.
Refusal of praise
Some parents are afraid to overpraise their child, believing that he may become arrogant.
However, you can't completely give up on praising your child. The child must be rewarded for his successes (at least by saying the word "well done").
Forcing someone to do something even if the child flatly refuses
A typical example: parents force their child to finish his porridge, although he does not want to eat this dish.
Moms and dads should abandon this approach: it makes no sense, but it can cause a lot of problems.
Ban on expressing opinions
A child should have the right to express his own opinion and participate in adult conversations if the topic allows it.
If you don’t give your child this opportunity, he may become insecure and unsure of himself.
