SUMMARY
-Parents should teach their kids to talk openly about unfair or difficult situations and be patient if some of the stories they tell don’t really seem like a big deal through the eyes of an adult.
-Encourage your child to express their feelings in a safe way.
-A child should not have to sacrifice their own interests and goals to please others, and they shouldn’t let anyone force them to do something they don’t want to do.
-Tell your child to work hard to gain knowledge, but don’t wrap themselves up in good grades.
-Financially responsible parents make great role models for their children, who learn the value of money and use it as a tool, not as entertainment.
-Honest mistakes don’t need to be punished. If your child gets a bad grade or flunks a test, that might mean they just need help with a tough subject.
-Many psychologists claim that children won’t learn to rely on themselves if their parents don’t give them some alone time. Provide them with toys, books, and other activities, but let your child choose how to entertain themselves.
-Encourage your children to share their toys while instilling in them a sense of fairness. If another child wants to borrow the ball they’re playing with, it’s reasonable for the kids to play with that ball together.

I'm a kid and just watching to see how much my parents failed me
they taught me most of these bad lessons....

[mhadzsamodio]

i was so used to being told to please others that
when i was in first grade i didnt even have my own opinions anymore

[avocadod]

This is how my parents treated me most of my life:
- Compared me to professionals and people who are better than me
- Never let me get away with a lot of things
- Treated me different from my younger siblings
- Made me help my siblings more just because I was taller than them
- Never allowed privacy
- Made me feel like I was never the way they wanted me to be

[smugassassin]

Here's another one don't "compare children" am I right

Edit:thank you all for likes y'all are so nice. Also I guess we all have this problem😅😅

[sagixic]

as a kid, i always did stuff so my dad didn't get mad, or sad. it was all about that. even lying so he didn't get disappointed.

As a single father of three boys, I was totally in shock after watching this video ! I also showed this to my son's school psychologist and she was also in a state of shock !

[naya]

My mom always tells me to communicate, but communicating is like exercising for me cause I'm an introvert

[thesmokinggamer]

Im a young parent my son is 4 and this actually was a huge eye opener for me and makes alot of sense

[iicoldzo_o]

Me: *tells the truth*

My parents: “Stop lying”

Me: ...

My parents always yell at me if my school teacher tries to talk about my bad behaviors at school.

[alexpretzel]

1:55 my dad saw me crying and has a problem he ask "why are you crying?" I said nothing and it looks like he doesn't cared🙁

[angeladeleon]

This video makes me proud of myself. I don't have kids, I'm only 17, but I teach kids around me these lessons the right way. It makes me feel amazing that I've been doing right these past 5 years.

[kaydenchan]

Yep, the parents suppress their children’s feelings too much.

[dendroslimes]

My mom taught me to do all of this, therefore i was the weird kid at school

[xiao]

I feel guilty every time I remember my childhood because I lied so much wanting to please my dad...

[erminarahman]

I wish my parents and my teacher knew this stuff

[Ashenicky]

This video gave me anxiety. I remember a few of those bad lessons my parents used, especially when my dad would tell me and my brother that we weren't allowed to be mad at them cause we were the kids. And now I'm a parent. I started crying earlier because I snapped at my daughter for something that wasn't even that bad. Of course I hugged her tight and apologized for it. But it is definitely tough trying to raise them right, I don't really know how to do everything the right way.

Single dad with a 6-year-old. Although I think I'm doing a great job, I know there's so much to learn. This video encouraged me to reassess and focus on those things that's just slip by you.

[shannonduval]

I’m over blown with guilt right now I have a 5 year old and now a 18 year old I must have made every mistake in the book thank you for this
