2 scolding words that should not be said to children

Thạnh Hương |

Even when in anger, parents should know how to control it and try not to tell their children the following statements.

You are too bad

You are too bad is a saying that many parents use every time their children make a mistake. However, parents often using the above statement will make children's psychology unstable, under pressure from the things they accidentally cause. From there, children will gradually feel that they are really inferior and give up trying to fix themselves.

In some cases, children are also at risk of stress and depression because they feel inferior in front of family members.

In this case, instead of dropping the saying "You are too bad", parents should frankly criticize the child's flaws and propose solutions for the child to choose from.

In addition, it is advisable to create conditions for children to be able to correct their mistakes. That will help children gain more confidence and understand that every mistake can be made, but the important thing is not to avoid and accept the consequences of their own mistakes.

Parents disappointed with their children

Many parents mistakenly believe that expressing disappointment in their children will make them feel their mistakes. However, in reality, expressing disappointment in children when doing something wrong will cause them to fall into a state of confusion and anxiety.

In addition, children will feel away from and no longer loved by their parents. This will cause children to have opposing thoughts or become closed-minded, even have some negative thoughts.

According to psychologists, there are many ways to help children understand their mistakes. Point out mistakes and ask children to correct them, not to repeat the offense and can give them a certain penalty framework. Absolutely do not repeat the children's previous mistakes or express the truth about them.

Encouraging and motivating children to face their mistakes and be responsible for correcting their mistakes will help them become more mature and have a good personality in the future.
