11 Parenting Mistakes That Ruin a Child’s Growth

All parents have their own – unique – way of bringing up their kids. Many of them work in order to be able to buy new toys for them, others are strict because they want their children to be disciplined and goal-oriented, others give their children a choice and teach them to make decisions on their own. Every family has its own ways of upbringing, but there is one thing that all parents have in common: when they look back, they all want to fix some of the mistakes they made in the past.

The first years of a child’s life are a magical time that you should enjoy. Because in the future, you might regret some lost opportunities. So, take a look at the things that many parents regret in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

SUMMARY:
- Reprimanding a child for something they did wrong is totally normal. But sometimes parents go overboard and it turns into nitpicking.
- Even if you think you have a good reason to miss your child's school play, do your best to be present. Find time to visit grandma, go to the theatre, decorate your house for the holidays.
- Of course, simply playing creative games with your kids won’t necessarily make them great artists or musicians in the future. But, hey, there’s always a chance. Doing this has a lot of other advantages as well.
- Obviously, not taking photos won’t have any bad impact on your kids’ lives. But it’s the best way to capture amazing moments that you don’t want to forget.
- “You’re too young to decide”, “Adults know better” are probably phrases you heard quite often when you were a kid. But this kind of attitude from parents can have a serious impact on a kid’s future.
- Communication between parents and kids is probably the most important thing in upbringing. So if you don’t put aside enough time for it, one day you’ll wake up and realize that your child has grown up already and is living their own life.
- Without education on personal finance and responsible spending, children don’t understand the real worth of money. And when they grow up, they find it hard to manage their own income.
- Good memories from our childhood are a real treasure for most of us. We like to go back in our mind to that time when we were carefree, and quite often every day was filled with doing something for the first time.
- Hugs are not only a perfect way to show affection, but also scientifically proven to be good for our health, because they help protect against stress.
- Kids get confused about what’s allowed and what’s not. Without clear boundaries, they probably won’t behave the way you want them to, and obedience issues become inevitable.
- Never forget that YOU are the parent, so it’s up to you to decide what’s best for your kids. Also, don’t let strangers scold your child for misbehaving.

Hey there, BrightSiders, how many children would you like to have?

[alannaschaat]

I was heavily abused as a child, both mentally and physically from most of my family. Now I’m growing up realizing that this is not only affecting me but the way I treat others. So I’m sitting here educating myself, watching video after video so I don’t grow like my family.
There is nothing wrong with re-educating yourself. I hope the person reading this and trying to be the best they can, I hope you succeed.

My mom made everything magical. Even going to the market seemed like a great adventure. She taught us while we were out. She gave us clipped coupons and had us find the items in the market so we could learn to shop. She always hugged and kissed us. I love my mom and feel very fortunate to have her.

Another toxic trait of parents are they scold their children in front of strangers or their friends and they have no idea how embarrassing that is for a child. 😭

[glyzadelacruz]

"another toxic traits of a parent is when they are more concern on what others might say, rather than listening to their children explanation."

My dad scolded me big time during my childhood and many yrs later I still haven't forgotten. As a result I am cold towards him, yes he tries to maintain a relation but I am just unable to feel a connection. Please do yourself a favor and let a child be a child and learn things at his or her own pace, show love and attention and great things will happen later on.

I think another thing is patience. I've seen a lot of family members give up when they don't know what to do and just give their children a tablet or phone. Spending time with them and taking time doing things will definitely help raise a hally and fulfilled family.

When your parents share your embarrassing moments to your relatives and always compare you to your cousins that they think are "better" than you 😣

[nvmee]

Too late for me, sadly I learned what NOT to do with my kids from my parents.. so far I think I’m on the right track ! Neglect and lack of interest was horrible but it definitely helped me understand how important a mother’s love and attention is to a growing child

My favorite childhood memory is the summer of 1988. I was turning 8 and it was just me and my mom. She bought me my favorite record album which was Lisa Lisa & the cult jam!!! She also bought me a stereo. We had the best time ever.. I remember really really starting at my mother and thinking how much I love this woman what would I do with out her. She’s my everything..

[tiananyakopaco]

I've been scolding my baby boy often but after watching this, I stand corrected. Thanks alot for this information.

[adinamedrea]

I think it's so important for parents to have support from grandparents, aunt, neighbors or friends etc. in raising kids. When you have to raise a child by your own or just with the husband, the tiredness builds up and after years you start losing patience. When you have a community around you it's different. You can always take 30 minutes for a nap or even have time to take a shower without your toddler knocking at the door constantly...

[enjoylifelife]

People think I'm crazy when I say my kids opinion matters. They are capable of saying what they like an don't care for. I often laugh at people in their face when they say it because they dont have a clue. This video definitely shows how I parent. Thanks to my mom and dad. I love seeing my kids make important decisions.

[arabellaolalo]

I hate about my parents is comparing me to someone..

[smrityclothstore]

In my childhood once the dentist pull up my teeth and I was crying for pain and my father was holding me with his chest and he was also crying for my pain.. thanks to my Allah for the most precious gift He has gifted me.. my mom and dad.. ❤❤

[kriscaldwell]

I developed social anxiety from my mom and dad yelling at me as a child, spanking me in front of guests, placing me in a corner. Ive worked really hard to break my social anxiety I’ve had to break through all the discomfort. I don’t yell at my daughter because of this.

[myleenecepe]

When i was a child my mother always used to scold me in front of many and until now she still doing it to my niece and nephew which is very wrong and toxic. I said to myself I will never do that to my son.

[charissahenderson]

This confirms my belief that my parents failed me as a child.
No wonder I'm so stressed and insecure as an adult. 😕

[sushmajha]

This video is being watched by more *children and teens* than *parents* . Hahaha.

[kcconsigo]

Another toxic parents is that they want you to control over your happiness and financial just to meet their desires for their own purposes but not yours 🥺🥺.
