It is no secret that our daily behavior determines how our children will behave and act in adulthood. Parents provide children with the knowledge necessary for survival and influence them with their everyday actions. As a result, young children subconsciously imitate the behavior of those around them.
However, the future of our children depends not only on what we do – it also depends on what we say. Sometimes parents fail, even when they try to remain calm, and say something unpleasant to their children that the children will never forget.
What are the most disturbing things you can say and do?
Quora users came up with the three most psychologically harmful comments they heard when they were little. People say some of them without thinking.
If you don’t explain something immediately
We bet you know that unsettling feeling when someone doesn’t want to explain to you why they’re not satisfied with what you did. Still, to avoid arguments parents often say “You’ll understand when you have your own children one day”, Akebia “You’ll understand when you’re older”. Doesn’t that undermine a young person’s intelligence?
Failing to acknowledge achievements
Sometimes it’s all about how you communicate, so any words that can belittle a child’s talent and effort should be taboo. Children often try to impress you or earn praise, so don’t ignore them and don’t criticize what they do.
