A toxic person is toxic with everyone. He is like that in all his manifestations and regardless of his social circle – even with children.
Only parents rarely doubt whether they are behaving correctly with their children.
Experts have named the signs of a toxic parent.
Constant criticism
Such people are given away by their desire to take everything to the extreme, no matter what the child does.
Even a child's drawing will be criticized by a toxic dad or toxic mom so much that the child will never pick up a pencil or a brush again.
Constantly demanding
Moreover, he demands anything: help at home, help at the dacha, help grandma or other relatives.
In other words, they try to direct the child’s energy in the direction they think is right, without paying any attention to his interests.
Constant negativity
It doesn't matter what kind of emotions these are - good or bad. Even jokes from such people are prickly and evil.
And in this case, toxic parents cannot provide the child with normal communication, leading to the point that in the future he will no longer be able to respond to unfair criticism directed at him.
Constant fear
This point is not so much about discipline as it is about unpredictability. The child simply does not know what to expect from a call from the parents or their appearance at home.
And the last point is the violation of personal space.
The need for control always exists, but toxic parents are sure that they can do anything: decide who to date, who to text, and so on.
In their children’s adult lives, they also do not calm down and come to their home whenever they want, without even warning them about it.
