5 Parenting Mistakes to Avoid

Don't do this as a Parent

By Tanvi PuniaPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Are you an expectant parent or a new parent? Are you struggling with parenting-related thoughts and looking for answers? So your search is over right here. The following list of the 5 things parents should avoid doing to their kids can aid and direct you in your parenting endeavors.

However, before we get started, we want to let you understand that this parenting advice will be a little different, as you might have guessed from the title. We'll be talking about things you shouldn't do to your children if you desire them to grow up to be successful, secure, and loving people.

Let's begin our exploration of the five things parents must never do.

  • Avoid Comparison

The majority of parents compare their kids to others' kids because they believe it will be advantageous for their kids. "Look at your pals, they're all doing well in comparison to you in their studies/in any field, why don't you?" is one of the things they say. No, it does not help them.

As a result of feeling unworthy, your child may experience tension, anxiety, self-doubt, personal hatred for or toward the person with whom they are being compared, low self-esteem, and even worse, self-critical conduct. Recognize that your kid is an individual whose development, achievement, and so on have nothing to do with that of other people's children. Your child is growing on their own, unique growth route; it is not the same as anyone else's growth path. Therefore, do not even compare them to their siblings or anyone else, regardless of who or for what.

  • Don't Just Pretend to be Friends

Be sincere when you say, "Think of us as your friends." Be like their buddies in your actions as well as in your words. Understand that they are not easily deceived and that they will be able to tell that you lied to them to lure them into your honey trap and did not mean what you said. Do not do this, please. There will be problems.

  • Do Not Conditionally Love Them

You must have declared, at least once, "our love for you is unconditional" or "we love you unconditionally," as parents, since you are all or the majority of you, right? But is it actually the case? Ask, probe, and objectively assess oneself. And make sure that your professions of unwavering devotion are not in conflict with reality. On their achievements, you can gift them toys and other necessary supplies which are available on alternatives to eBay.

  • Don't Impart Knowledge to Them That You are Aware which is Impractical in Real Life

Parents frequently try to educate their children in a number of lessons that are the inapplicable non-actual world. For instance, parents typically instruct their kids to always tell the truth rather than lies. Well, parents themselves frequently tell lies to their kids for a variety of reasons. I want to reiterate what I said before in this article: "They (your child/children) cannot be tricked," and to constantly keep it in mind.

  • Don't Judge them by their Marks

Keep in mind that your grades do not indicate your children's intelligence or indicate that they won't be successful in life. Their grade point average has nothing to do with how successful they are in life; instead, it is their talent, desire, and goals that will drive them to succeed. History demonstrates that many people who struggled in school or left early have gone on to achieve greater recognition and success than those who excelled academically. To mention a few, there are Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Ben Franklin.

Conclusion

We have already covered the five things parents should never do in this article. We hope that the parents will change for the better as a result of this essay and that the parents' children will feel more at ease, valued, and loved than ever. greater love for your child Because they are on a particular journey of their own, distinct existence, accept them as they are and allow them to develop at their own rate.
