Many parents make a serious mistake when they start scolding their own children in front of strangers.

They think that in this case the effect will be better, because the child experiences a feeling of shame.

However, experts believe that this is definitely not the way to do things.

For what reasons should you not scold or scold children in front of strangers?

The child is really ashamed

You expect that shame will keep children from making the same mistakes. However, children's psyche is unpredictable. Because of shame, a child may develop problems with self-esteem.

Lack of self-confidence and fear of other people also often appear.

Lack of trust in parents

Parents are the closest people to a child, in whom he wants to feel confident. However, the moment you start scolding him in front of strangers, trust is lost.

Children feel betrayed by you. It will be very difficult to establish an emotional connection after such an ordeal, since the child blames the parents for his own shame.
