Surely parents want their children to be able to live a happy life in the future, while becoming a respected successful person.

In most cases, children see one thing: other people can deny themselves everything for them, so there is no need to even try. Therefore, it is important to learn to value your interests and needs, too, experts say.

You convince your child that he is not capable of anything.

Sometimes our words become too ingrained in the child's psyche, so we need to be careful with them. Don't constantly criticize children and point out their shortcomings in an aggressive manner.

Yes, a child doesn't always get it right the first time and they can't be perfect in everything. But if you push too hard, you can simply destroy a person's self-esteem.

You constantly praise children

Praise, of course, should be present in the process of education. But it should be correct. Do not praise for innate talents and results: focus on the efforts and efforts that children have demonstrated.

Also, don't devalue praise: only note actions that are worthy of attention.
