What Parents Should Not Do?

There is so much advice that is out there for parents, and it can seem overwhelming. There are “dos” and “don’ts” that seem to change every week. It is good to know that there are some tried and true suggestions out there for parents. These are some definite “don’ts” that specialist and successful parents have found to be true.

We all have stress that comes into our lives. As parents, we have to remember that children are neither our friends nor our personal therapists. Parents can be stressed out, and it is fine, to be honest with kids, but it is detrimental to their mental welfare if we get them involved in our stress. Children need to feel like they are taken care of. Even if you tell them that you, as parents, are dealing with hard things, always let them know that you are in charge and that you are working hard to find solutions. Children should never feel like they are causing you to stress or like you want them to help you deal with the stress.

As parents, we can get stressed out and say things to our children that we don’t mean. These are hurtful things that they may never forget. Our tongue can be one of our most dangerous weapons when it comes to the ones that we love. That is especially true of our children. Since that is the case, we, as parents, have to think before we criticize or insult our children. Those remarks could leave a wound that will never heal.

If you have a misbehaving child, you may think that a good punishment would be to take your child’s phone away, but that is not always the best response. When you take your child’s phone away, you leave her feeling isolated from the world and untrustworthy. Children nowadays use their phones to communicate with the world, so it could be cruel to leave your child without her main form of communication. There is nothing wrong with monitoring your child’s phone use, but you want to show her that you trust her even if you are not happy with her behavior.
