Many parents forbid their children to cry, express their opinions, and engage in certain hobbies.
Some mothers and fathers are sure that this is how it should be done so that the child is calm, obedient and modest.
In fact, such bans do not lead to anything good.
Let's look at each case separately.
Express an opinion
Do you not like that your child often interrupts adult conversations, wanting to speak out on this or that issue?
Come to terms with it! And under no circumstances forbid your child to express his opinion, no matter how strange, funny or naive it may be.
Such a ban is a guarantee that the child will develop low self-esteem and indecisiveness.
Cry
Don't forbid your child to shed tears. Even if it's a boy.
The baby should not hold back emotions. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to cope with the experiences.
In addition, a child who is not allowed to cry may become withdrawn.
Engage in a hobby
If your child enjoys a particular activity, don't stop him from spending time on it.
If you still do not allow your child to engage in this or that hobby, then you will deprive your own child of the chance for self-realization.
