It is important to remember that words not only carry a semantic load, but can also influence the psychological state of the child and his worldview.
Therefore, a number of dangerous phrases should definitely not be uttered.
Moreover, the consequences of such words are sometimes impossible to correct.
What are three phrases that are best forgotten?
"Why did I even have children?"
This question should have been asked before pregnancy. If you already have children, then such thoughts are not spoken out loud. Of course, parents say such unpleasant words during periods of anger and resentment.
However, an adult must behave in an age-appropriate manner and set an example.
Children who hear such phrases will feel guilty and unwanted. Sometimes this emotional grass cannot be corrected without appropriate therapy, experts note.
"Your father will come back and give you what for"
First of all, it is worth understanding that it is not worth appointing any family member as a "punisher". The child should be disciplined by more environmentally friendly methods.
Moreover, by saying this phrase, you are literally admitting your own helplessness: children will understand that without a father you are dependent and cannot do anything for them.
"Because we decided so."
Modern parents who are interested in raising a thinking child will not say such a phrase. If you have made a decision, it will not be difficult for you to explain it.
In this case, children will eventually come to the conclusion that you were right. If you do not spend time on explanations, then your logic will remain unclear to the child.
