How to Raise a Happy Child: Parents Can Be Toxic Too
A happy person has a happy childhood. And this means that the parents did not just give the child everything he asked for, but worked on his development.
Raising and working on a child's development is not about shielding him from problems and worries. Nothing good will come of it.
Experts have told how to raise a happy child and not become a toxic parent.
It turns out that adults owe much of their insecurity and mistakes to their parents.
To prevent your children from seeing themselves as victims, think about what mistakes are occurring in your parenting model.
Signs of Toxic Moms and Dads
1. It is not the best human quality to try to control every step of a child. Do not expect a report on the time spent and do not demand a dossier on each friend, but do not leave these issues unattended.
2. Don't solve all the problems that arise for the child. The smallest skills of ensuring personal safety and responsibility should be formed in childhood.
3. Do not put your interests above the interests of the child and, especially, do not distance yourself from your parental responsibilities.
4. Respect his opinion, feelings and emotions. Here you can also add about healthy criticism, without which it is impossible, but very difficult to maintain balance.
5. Do not blackmail or manipulate children’s weaknesses, and especially do not shame the child unnecessarily.
Remember that any serious conversation with parents is stressful for a child, especially during adolescence.
Children should not feel depressed and apathetic after this, because then we are already talking about psychological violence.
