7 Things You Should Never Say to Children

Being a parent requires responsibility even when it comes to word choice. Here are seven phrases that affect children’s mental development and altered them for the better.

TIMESTAMPS
You should listen to adults 0:30
Stop crying 1:00
Don’t be greedy! 1:34
Who taught you this? (about a mischief) 2:11
Look at this lovely girl 2:37
We’ll talk at home 3:08
You’re too young to think about this 3:36

SUMMARY
- The correct phrase is “You need to listen to your parents.” This helps the child develop critical thinking and a healthy distrust of strangers.
- The correct phrase is “Tell me what’s bothering you.” Or “Why are you crying?” If the child falls or gets bruised, say “Are you crying because it hurts or you’re frightened?” This will provoke a conversation which will help the child identify their emotions.
- “Would you let this boy play with your toy for a while?” or “Maybe you want to exchange toys for a while?” Give your child an opportunity to manage their things themselves. If the child is against sharing, then do not insist.
- The correct phrase is “Why did you do that?" This will help you find out whether the child did it themselves or upon someone’s encouragement. Always give children the opportunity to explain their actions.
- Comparing him with others negatively affects the child’s self-esteem, making them think they will never achieve anything. The correct phrase is “I love you. You can do this, too.” Point out your child’s abilities, and show that you believe in him. Remember that every child is unique and has their own talents.
- The correct phrase is “Let me tell you what upset me.” Hearing your point of view, your children will learn to take your feelings into account when pondering their future actions.
- The correct phrase is “I’m not ready to answer now. I need some time.” Do not dismiss the child. If they ask you a question, try to answer it. This way you will remain an authority in their eyes and will never lose their trust.

Hey guys, do you have a younger sister/brother?

[Jessica-ibri]

I hate it when they start comparing children to other children. People are born with different qualities and you can't change them for that.

Edit:OMG! 788 likes?! Thank you guys so much😭

I should tell my parents about this. They sometimes do these too



Like if your are a kid who's watching this

[_yar]

Parents: look at that boy
He’s better than you
Me: look at those parents
They’re better than both of you

[superguy]

Even though parents aren’t watching this, the parents of the 2030s (modern day kids) will know what to say

[thinkoncrit]

Never tell your children when you saw a beggar/poor people that "if you don't study hard, you will end up like him/her/them." I think this is wrong cause you are judging those people without knowing why they are on that situation and I think judging someone is wrong no matter what kind of status of life he/she has.

98% people who are watching this are kids..

I bet like 99% of the people who are watching this are kids.
And like 1% of the adults are not parents lol

It's so annoying when parents don't understand what your going through and they just say stuff like " Behave!" Or how they won't let you request for things and just say "No, wait until your older" or " No and don't ask me" because children start becoming curious and do that thing behind their back.

spook yeaaa

[megancarley]

Welp, this explains why I'm so messed up.

[drainstraight]

parents should avoid grounding their children and instead, ask them why they did something wrong or why they didnt follow directions and listen to what they have to say

[nusratjahan]

My parents don't believe me and always compare with others 😞

[aenjel]

"Stop crying"
Yes! Yes! thank you so much for saying this! I've been told this all my life, even now, and its really damaging. I've just realized recently that I'm afraid to show emotions in front of my parents because they told me this instead of just comforting me. If your child is upset _please_ comfort them instead of scolding them!!

[amarellistorres]

You missed something: If you get mad at your child, don’t abuse or hit them. If you do, that will cause the child damage and will lose your trust.

[monohji]

Ugh
My parents *_SERIOUSLY_*
GOtta watch these stuff

[kaisoleil]

Problems with parents: Punishments, Yelling at kids, "Because i said so", 'You are two young", chores, telling kids what to do, taking things away, getting mad for crying, always being in kids' business, hitting and beating kids, being strict, not letting kids do what they want to do. More coming soon

[glizzygobbler]

I can't be the only one that was told, "If you keep doing this, I'm going to get a new son/daughter!" There is SO many things wrong with saying this to a child! It ruins their self esteem and makes them feel unwanted because they feel as if they could be easily replaced. Please, if your a new parent and your frustrated with your child, NEVER say this to them! Seriously, it really hurt me when my parents said this to me.

I’m a mother myself! I love my son and everyday I try my best to be the mother God created me to be. I do fail, but I go to God and ask forgiveness and to teach me how to be a mother. I even ask my son to forgive me and let him know that mom is imperfect. Since I grew up in the orphanage for 17 years, I never really have someone to look up to. But in time I learned through it ALL God is faithful and He gave me such a wonderful son and He will help me to raise him the way he needs to be raised!

I always have to hide my emotions and when I cry my mom is like "Stop crying! You're not 5!" and I have to stop crying
