"Mom and Dad are Always Right": Why This Attitude Is Dangerous for Children - A Possible Consequence That Parents Forget About

04.11.2024 14:32

Some parents set their children up in the following way: “We are always right about everything, you have to accept it.”

Yes, this approach greatly simplifies the educational process. It is enough to simply tell the child: "Do this" or "You can't do this."

There is no need for special explanations. To the child's question "Why?" you only need to give the following answer: "Because we said so. And we are always right."

However, despite all the conveniences, such an installation is quite dangerous for a child.

It is possible that a consequence will come to light, the risk of which many parents are not even aware of.

The Dangers of the "Mom and Dad Are Always Right" Mindset

Yes, first you will convince the baby of your “eternal” rightness.

But sooner or later the child will begin to notice your mistakes and oversights.

Know this: you can't avoid making mistakes. Someday you will do something wrong.

And then the following conclusion will be born in the child's head: "Mom and Dad were wrong, but they did not admit it. This means that I, too, can not admit my mistakes and never ask for forgiveness for wrong actions."

Don't want your child to come to this conclusion? Then don't tell him that "Mom and Dad are always right."

It is better to always admit your mistakes. Be an example for your son or daughter.
