How Not to Turn Your Child into an Outcast: Don't Make These 4 Mistakes

05.12.2024 02:30

Not all children manage to find a common language with their peers.

Some schoolchildren become victims of bullying.

Some do not suffer from bullying, but still do not communicate with their peers and have little interaction with them.

In some cases, part of the blame for turning a child into an outcast lies with the parents, who did not raise the child quite correctly.

So, what mistakes should mom and dad not make?

Excessive strictness

Many parents are convinced that a child should be raised strictly.

They say that this is the only way a child will become responsible and obedient.

But there is a problem: if mom and dad are too strict and set a huge number of prohibitions for the child (“don’t do this,” “don’t say that,” “don’t go there,” “don’t communicate with them,” etc.), then the baby will simply become helpless and will not be able to socialize normally.

Devaluation of feelings

Some parents completely ignore their children's experiences, thereby making a huge mistake.

Comfort your child, support him morally, listen if he asks for it.

If you follow these conditions, the baby will not feel “unnecessary” and will not become an outcast.

Unwillingness to see the child's success

Parents ignoring their child’s achievements in studies and sports can lead to the child losing motivation.

Don't forget to praise your son or daughter even for "minor" successes.

Otherwise, the child will come to the conclusion that efforts are pointless. The baby will become indifferent. And this is fraught with becoming an outcast.

Problems with appearance

Children who look “different” often become outcasts.

We are talking about strange, wrinkled and not entirely clean clothes, unusual hairstyle, etc.

Keep your child's wardrobe clean, do not "experiment" with the baby's appearance. Teach your child to be neat and tidy.
