Many parents use the word "no" too often.
This desire is quite understandable: you want to play it safe and forbid the child from performing dangerous actions.
However, an excess of prohibitions leads to undesirable consequences.
So, what can happen to a baby who very often hears the word “no” from mom and dad?
It's getting scary
Imagine that you said too loudly and harshly: “You can’t!”
What will an impressionable child feel at this moment? Most likely, he will be scared.
And if you constantly tell your child about the “terrible” consequences of this or that action, then the child may develop phobias.
Self-esteem is falling
Are you constantly forbidding your child to do something? Then don't be surprised if your child becomes indecisive and starts to underestimate himself.
Resentment towards parents appears
Constant prohibitions increase the risk that the baby will get angry with mom and dad. This will not lead to anything good for the family.
The child loses opportunities for self-realization
A child acquires many knowledge and skills through trial and error.
If a child is inactive, he will not gain important experience.
Prohibitions are no longer taken seriously
Many children become so accustomed to the word “no” that they stop hearing it.
Taking into account all the above circumstances, parents should pay attention to the following recommendation: if the word “no” is said, it should be followed by an explanation of why this or that action cannot be performed.
