Sometimes by seeking to make them happy, we make their self-esteem suffer.
They did not teach us to be parents and in our attempts to see them happy we can seriously affect their self-esteem. Experts comment that there are several ways to do it, without realizing it. And then we mention them to you
Overprotection
This has serious consequences that can range from shyness, dependency, introversion, insecurity, lack of self-confidence, to even pessimistic attitudes and a tendency to phobias and depression.
Do things for them
They grow up knowing that they cannot do it on their own, do not understand the term of responsibilities, and lose the opportunity to learn new skills and abilities.
Minimize achievements
Tell them that? Is it too easy? It is a trap that is difficult to get out of and whose consequences can be fatal in self-esteem. As simple as it may seem to you, it is not good to say it. It is not the way to encourage them since they will believe that they are weak when they see it complicated. This not only discourages them but also frustrates them, components that prevent further attempts.
Avoid commenting errors
With this, they will never learn that from a fall there always comes an opportunity to get up and get out with more force. Every mistake is part of learning.
