10 Things Parents Should Never Do for Their Kids

10 things that we should never do for our children. Sometimes parents help their children too much: take these things into account, and your children will thank you.

I know it’s hard to step back and let your children do things for themselves because your parental instinct just wants to coddle them as long as you can. But are you doing more harm than good?..

SUMMARY
- You can give a hint to the kid about what to say or encourage them if they’re being shy.
- Parents should let their kids look for their own friends in their own age group. Mom and Dad are there for the times when their children need love, support, and guidance.
- Parents should understand the needs and wishes of their children by putting themselves in their kid's shoes. Maybe your daughter wants the Barbie Pet Vet Playset because she dreams of becoming a veterinarian.
- Save yourself the headache later on, and let your kids do as much as possible themselves. Of course, they won’t get it perfect, it’s okay! At least they tried, and they’re learning.
- Forcing your own tastes on your child will just result it a complete backlash where the kid does or likes anything as long as it’s the complete opposite of their parents.
- Parents are worried that their kids are blowing money on useless things or even drugs or alcohol. In this case, you need to teach your children to spend money cleverly, to be financially responsible.
- Not to become a pushy dictator forcing your dreams on your young ones, be patient, and watch your kids carefully. Notice their interests and inclinations. Ask them what they like, and then let them develop in this field.
- Remember to be happy for your children's successes, but don't confuse them with your own.
- It might be not always possible to let children pick, but giving them a chance when possible develops a crucial skill: the ability to choose, to make decisions, and to face the consequences.
- Let your kids have their own private space. Don't ask too many questions if you can see that they don't want to share the details. And, of course, don't ever secretly read your children's texts or snoop through their personal things.

My parents did most of these things to me when I was a teenager, which is why I hated them.

She forced me to sing and now I was awarded best singer of my batch for my highschool graduation ceremony

I never had a bad childhood but i just missed out on certain things. My parents stopped doing fun things with our family when i turned 8, and i don't even remember anything anymore that happened when i was 8. If any parent is reading this, even if your kid is being stubborn or annoying never forget to also do fun things.

Also, i think parents should stop using "When i was younger.." because things changed, the world isn't the same anymore. If your kid is sad and stressed, don't say "When i was younger we just had to deal with it" but show love and care.

Like i said, i didn't have the worst childhood and I'm very blessed, however i definitely didn't have a fun childhood. Spend time with your kids, show them love and happiness

As a teen myself, I completely agree with the last one. Whenever my parents ask me who is my crush, I simply don't give an answer; it feels awkward and stressful. I will never tell my parents who she is because we all know that if I bump into her in public and my parents are present, they're gonna say something. They'll just have to find out when I tell them that we're dating, if everything goes right, that is.

1:59 this is actually something my parents did and I can tell you that it makes me unable to have boundaries but also am unable to go to my parents because they always talk about their issues..

[alliesgalaxy]

My mother doesn’t follow the DON’T INTRUDE THIED PERSONAL LIVES rule. She guesses my password and looks at who o texted last and what I texted to them. 😡

[johnguerin]

In other words: treat your children like human
