Parents sometimes do not have the necessary knowledge to understand how their children react to the phrases they say.
Sometimes they simply repeat what they themselves heard as children.
However, it is better to find out what phrases irritate children.
Which ones are worth paying attention to?
"Look at your classmate, he's good at everything."
A child will be extremely offended if he is compared with other children, especially if the comparison is not in his favor.
Try not to mention that the other child is smarter, more talented, or better at something. It is much more effective to help your children develop than to lower their self-esteem.
"Don't talk nonsense"
It is quite possible that a child may say things that are not entirely reasonable, but this does not mean that he should be told about them in a rude and tactless manner.
Children do not have enough experience and knowledge to always conduct a reasonable dialogue. However, in any case, adults need to be gentle.
"There are no things of yours in this house."
Yes, children cannot boast of their personal earnings due to their age, but there is no need to remind them of this. Experts believe that such a phrase can cause a feeling of helplessness.
"No matter how much you repeat it, he still can't do anything right."
This phrase can again become a source of self-doubt. Instead of criticizing a child for not being able to do something, you need to explain it to him in a way that he understands.
This would be a more correct approach.
