5 Parental Phrases Your Boy Shouldn't Hear: Don't Ruin Your Son's Life
07.06.2024 05:20
Of course, the boy's parents want to raise their son to be a real man.
But it is important not to overdo it. Establishing a strict ban on the display of emotions is a gross mistake.
Leaving a child alone with serious problems is also the wrong thing to do.
In addition, when talking to your son, you should not use certain popular phrases.
Any one of these lines could ruin the boy's life.
"Don't cry! You're a boy!"
Of course, it’s unpleasant when a child cries.
But you shouldn’t forbid your son to show his emotions in all cases, otherwise the child will become withdrawn and secretive.
And arguing for the ban by saying that “only girls can cry” is stupid.
"Boys are not afraid of anything"
You can't shame a boy for being afraid of something. It's better to help him overcome his fear.
"You have to! You're a boy!"
A phrase like this can cause a child to come to the wrong conclusion: “I should fulfill all whims just because I’m a boy.”
"Solve your own problems"
Leaving a child alone with serious difficulties is a grave mistake on the part of parents.
Don't be so strict. Your son may learn to solve problems on his own, but he will definitely become distrustful. His attitude towards you will seriously deteriorate.
"You did not live up to our expectations."
A child does not live to live up to his parents' expectations.
He has the right to his own choices and to failures.
But it is definitely impossible to put psychological pressure on your son simply because he did not become an excellent student or an outstanding athlete.
