Have you ever thought how deep an impression your few words can leave on the hearts of your little ones? Let us tell you, the mind of children is like a blank slate, on which everything the parents say is written forever. Sometimes we unknowingly say some things that pierce the tender minds of children (Emotional Wounds) and they are unable to forget them even after growing up. These things can break their confidence and have a deep impact on their entire personality (Long-Lasting Impact). Let us know about 5 such things (Parenting Mistakes), that you should think twice before saying.

"You are of no use"
This is probably the worst thing that parents can say to their children. Yes, when a child is repeatedly made to feel that he is not good at anything or cannot achieve anything, his confidence is badly broken. He starts fearing to try new things and always underestimates himself. Instead, tell them, "You try, I am sure you can do it!" or "No problem, next time it will be better." Motivate them and praise their small successes.

Comparison with others

Every child is unique and everyone has their abilities. When parents compare their child with another child (sibling, friend, or neighbor), a feeling of inferiority develops in the child's mind. They feel that they can never live up to the expectations of their parents. This can also lead to feelings of jealousy and resentment. Instead, focus on your child's strengths and also praise him for his good deeds.

Suppressing emotions is a big mistake.

Like adults, children have every right to express their feelings, be it anger, fear, or sadness. When parents stop them from crying or underestimate their feelings, children learn that expressing their feelings is wrong. Due to this, they are not able to handle their feelings properly when they grow up and keep suffocating inside. Instead, you should tell them that every feeling is normal. "I know you are sad" or "It is normal to feel scared." That is, give them a safe environment to express their feelings.

"If you do not do this, then ..."

Linking love with conditions has a very bad effect on the minds of children. Children start thinking that they will get the love of their parents only when they agree to everything they say or do a particular thing. This creates a feeling of insecurity in their mind and they always try to please their parents, even if their wishes are different. Remember, express your love unconditionally. Tell them, "I love you very much, no matter what you do." Tell them that you will always love them.

Avoid taunting
Children make mistakes and this is a part of the learning process, but if parents repeat their old mistakes again and again or taunt them, children always feel guilty. They start considering themselves as failures and their desire to improve decreases. Instead, tell them that everyone makes mistakes, but it is important to learn from them and try to improve. Instead of focusing on the mistake, motivate them to do better in the future.
