5 Dangerous Parental Phrases: What You Shouldn't Say to Your Children

27.09.2023 00:01

Words can hurt. Unfortunately, some parents forget about this.

When communicating with your children, you should avoid dangerous phrases.

Some of these words are mistakenly perceived as correct from an educational point of view.

In fact, the phrases listed below do not help make the baby better. Quite the opposite, in fact.

"We'll talk at home"

By saying this phrase, many mothers hope that their child will stop behaving badly in public.

Perhaps such a result will be achieved. But we must not forget that the child will perceive the words of the parents as a threat, and this is fraught with stress, fear and mistrust.

"Share your toys with Vasya!"

The child must decide for himself what to do with his things.

Otherwise, the child may come to the conclusion that he or she has no right to his or her own opinion, which leads to self-doubt and lack of independence.

"Stop crying!"

This phrase rarely helps parents calm their child down, but it does contribute to the formation of a feeling of guilt in the child.

In addition, the child may decide that he has no right to show emotions.

"Listen to your elders!"

This approach to education should be abandoned. Yes, a child should be taught that one should be polite with people.

But you shouldn't always listen to them. You never know what kind of person the baby might run into.

"But Masha..."

Never tell your son or daughter that another child is better than them in some way.

It is clear that every child has his own shortcomings. And not everything always works out. Especially in studies. But this is not a reason to humiliate the child by comparing him with others.
