Parents should never think that their child is naughty, why did they give birth to a child like that? Remember, this bad seed may come from you. So if you still make these mistakes, fix them right away:
Yelling at children
Raising children without ever feeling frustrated and helpless because they lie. There are times when we feel tired, frustrated and annoyed because of our children. But that doesn’t mean you allow yourself to lose control and yell at, insult your children. Yelling, hitting, cursing and scolding your child does not teach them to be obedient but instead creates a backlash that makes them more mischievous and more violent. Educating children should not involve physical punishment. In many studies conducted by education experts, it is shown that yelling and hitting children is one of the forms of child abuse on a mental level. If they are frequently yelled at and punished, children are more likely to develop mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
When parents yell, curse, insult their children, it can create resentment and anger towards their parents. Later on, these children also “take revenge on others” and actively engage in violence. In fact, part of it is imitating adults. The behavior of children when they are young is often a repetition of the behavior of their parents and the people around them.
Dr. Lim Boon Leng, a neurologist at Singapore’s Mental Health Care Center, once shared: “Parents who frequently yell at their children can cause extremely dangerous harm to their young children”. When parents yell at them, children often become timid, fearful, and their behavioral development is also greatly hindered.
Parents who like to coddle and indulge their children
On the other hand, excessive coddling and pampering of children is also not okay. When you overindulge your children, you deprive them of opportunities for development, creating selfish children who like to be served.
When parents excessively pamper and protect their children, they will demand more from others and often blame and complain about others. And this blame and complaint mindset breeds hatred and violence.
These children now rely on the arrangements of others and expect their parents’ provisions. This is the reason why children see themselves as victims rather than recognizing their roles and responsibilities. Therefore, instead of coddling your child, let them perform tasks within their age range.
When your child makes a mistake, explain and teach them to apologize to others instead of blindly defending them. Blindly defending your child will only make them more arrogant and conceited. And these children grow up without inner strength, so they may resort to violence to cover up their helplessness.
Therefore, parents need to give their children independence and an understanding of the value of life. Children need to learn skills, cultivate knowledge, develop independence, learn responsibility, and understand the value of labor.
Parents who like to show off
Many parents like to boast about their family, even brag about their wealth, assets, and power. This will make their children imitate and become fake and superficial like their parents.
This showing off will make children become spoiled and lack depth, so they don’t know how to be grateful when they grow up. When children show off and boast to fill their lies, it will lead to wrongdoings such as stealing, greed, causing controversy, and being irresponsible to their parents…
Therefore, parents should remember how to raise and educate their children. Every action and character of yours affects your child. Children are born as pure products of the divine, and your character draws beautiful or negative things into your child’s life.
