3 Questions You Should Never Ask Your Child: Note to Parents

12.09.2023 00:01

When communicating with a child, many parents do not even think about the undesirability of some questions.

And there is nothing good about it. Before asking your child about something, you need to think about the possible consequences.

You need to be sure that the question will be tactful, appropriate and will not put your child in an awkward position.

Unfortunately, sometimes moms and dads say the following dangerous phrases.

"Who do you love more - mom or dad?"

You should never ask a child such a question. The baby probably loves both parents equally.

Do not force your son or daughter to make a choice between mother and father: this is fraught with the destruction of the family idyll and the emergence of a sense of guilt in the child.

"Why did you get a bad grade, but Vasya got a good grade?"

Parents have the right to ask only the first part of the question.

Comparing a schoolchild with other children is not worth it: this can lead to a drop in the child’s self-esteem.

"Where have you been? Why are you lying to me?"

Of course, a mother has the right to ask her child where he went for a walk.

But you shouldn't accuse your child of lying. Firstly, the reproach may be unfair. Secondly, the child may come to the conclusion that he is being watched.
