Parents who consider themselves ideal need to periodically descend to the sinful earth, otherwise complications may arise in relationships with children.
Anyone who is told that they have become toxic is unlikely to agree with it. But there are toxic parents and you need to know about it.
For self-examination, experts advise asking yourself two questions and drawing conclusions. So, how to understand that you are a toxic parent.
Question one: do you yell at your child?
There are different types of screaming. For example, in an emergency, when you need to prevent trouble. This is understandable.
The rest of the time, parents communicate with the child calmly, even if the situation requires strictness.
But if the screams are heard without reason, or for the most insignificant reasons, then it is clear that the parents have very poor self-control.
Question two: how is your sense of humor?
A sense of humor is a good sign. But you can't take your jokes to the point of sarcasm, especially when it comes to communicating with children.
Their thinking and outlook are not yet as developed as that of adults, so the subtleties of sarcasm or ironic remarks may seem strange to them.
You can be sure that in such an atmosphere children will grow up withdrawn and will avoid contact with their parents.
