Being a mom and a dad is not easy, but with these tips, enjoy more of your motherhood and fatherhood to live in a happy family, full of respect and love.
9 COMMON PARENTING MISTAKES
1. To consent too much
If you solve everything, you only take away the opportunity to learn for yourself, you can make him intolerant and he will probably get depressed in adolescence since the real world will not give him everything he asks for.
2. Set a bad example
It is not valid to ask your child for self-control if you are in traffic yelling at others or fighting over the road. Be consistent and more aware of your actions, especially those you do in front of him.
3. Believe that you are a perfect child
Assuming it will generate that he believes that all his actions and attitudes are good and that he deserves everything, you can make him arrogant and irresponsible. You better know that we all have mistakes and defects.
4. Want to be your best friend
If you allow him to be “cool”, you can lead to unwanted behavior when he grows up. Think that you are the mom or dad and you must teach them to be responsible.
5. Disallow yourself
If one sets certain limits or punishments for the child and the other does not respect them, he will take advantage of these discrepancies and will grow doing what he wants. Have good communication as a couple when educating.
6. Overprotection
Let your son be a boy; make mistakes, play, fall, get hurt, get up and heal. Teach him that every cause has an effect so that he is aware of his actions, otherwise, he will be dependent and insecure.
7. Punish
If you apply punishment and lift it (you do not allow it to be carried out), you will cause the child to notice a certain inconsistency in authority and then not understand that certain things he does are wrong.
8. Praise him for everything
It is normal to feel proud, but believing that anything he does is extraordinary and that no other child does it, it is not very good, you will only make that when he makes a mistake, he goes to the other extreme, he will think that he is the worst!
9. Compare it
If you say “you should behave better, just like …” or “you should learn from your brother”, the child is perceived as “bad”. These phrases negatively impact him; they make him feel unloved, in addition, they generate jealousy and envy.
You are the example of your son, how do you want him to be in the future?
