Bad parenting habits

There are certain things a parent does inadvertently or in an attempt to improve their child’s misbehavior, which might have a negative impact on a child’s psychology. Many of these things may not even appear to be so serious, but they have the potential to make children more prone to behavioral difficulties and mental health issues. Here are some bad parenting habits to avoid if you want to enhance your parenting skills and strengthen your child’s self-esteem and confidence.

Calling them with inappropriate names

Most parents find it normal to call their kids with denominations like ‘brat’, ‘unworthy’, or ‘horrid’, also it may not even seem like a huge thing to you. But these labels do carry the potential of being disrespectful and send a harmful message at times. As when you project unconscious unpleasant thoughts onto your child in the form of some inappropriate tags, it makes children fearful of relying on their parents for care by mangling their ability to rely on others and ask for help, along with their self-esteem getting impacted as a result.

​Use of extreme words like ‘always’ and ‘never’

We simply use these extreme words for small things like “you never tie your laces properly,” or “you are always late,” but do you know that these words too have a psychological effect on a child’s self-esteem, motivation and well-being as it can lead your child to develop a fixed attitude or mindset towards things and their abilities, and however can even make them feel depressed or unhopeful about possible situations.

Engaging in comparisons

Are you that parent who compares his/her child’s abilities or achievements with any random kid next door, or say “You’ll never be as brilliant as your brother”? By doing this, you are absolutely rejecting your child’s strengths and impairing their confidence to take up new skills or adventure. Each child is unique, maybe your child isn’t that great at maths as Guptaji’s son but he can be an expert in swimming or even in singing.
