3 "Good" Things Parents Do That Make Their Kids Unhappy: Stop Doing It

Many parents make gross mistakes in raising children.
There are some obvious mistakes. For example, physical punishment, unfounded criticism, insults.
But there are also mistakes that are not initially perceived as incorrect actions at all.
Moms and dads who make such educational mistakes are sure: "We are doing everything right! Our goal is to improve the child's life."
In fact, these “good” parental actions only make things worse for the baby.
The desire to do everything for the child
From time to time, parents have a desire to help their son and daughter. And there is nothing wrong with that.
The main thing is that he doesn’t let the job get to the point of doing all the work instead of the child.
If you start doing all of a student's homework for him, he will clearly not gain knowledge.
If you clean your child's room for him, he will not acquire important household skills.
At least sometimes give your baby the opportunity to act independently. Otherwise, he will not learn anything and will not become an independent person.
Overly "careful" communication with a child
Many parents are afraid of “saying too much” to their child.
They demonstrate excessive politeness, fearing to offend or upset the guilty child.
But it is important to understand the following: sometimes you need to be tough in education.
Otherwise, the child will become spoiled and will begin to feel unpunished. And in communication with other people, the baby will not feel such "neatness": the feeling of happiness will disappear.
Living by the principle "All the best for children"
Some mothers and fathers are ready to deny themselves many things for the sake of their children.
Of course, such an aspiration is commendable. But don't go overboard.
Parents should not give up quality food and good clothes for the sake of buying another trinket for their son or daughter.
This approach is fraught with the fact that the child will get used to excessive parental generosity and become very demanding. And in adulthood, it will be very difficult for him to move on to a more modest life.
Don’t be afraid to refuse your child the purchase of this or that thing, explaining it this way: “Our family is experiencing temporary financial difficulties.”
