Common Parenting Mistakes You Should Avoid

As a child, our parents blamed us for everything without minding whether it was our fault or not. They pass it to us; we’re passing it to our children now it becomes generational.
To blame a child simply means parents holding their child responsible for their shortcomings. This manifests in different ways. say for example, if your child doesn’t do well at school, the first thing you say is, “What do you expect when all you do is play, play, play? That’s all you know, nothing else”.
Blaming a child takes responsibility away from that child and conditions the child wrongly. Blaming a child for every of their shortcomings affects the child’s self-esteem.
THREAT; We all have threatened our children at some point in our parenting. What does threat mean? Well, it is a form of statement parents use when they want their children to behave in a certain way.
The thing about threat is that when we use it for our children, we do not follow it through just like when we say to our child, I’ll leave you behind, how many parents have you seen leave their child behind? Again, doing this, over time your child/children will not trust you and whenever you use such, in their head they’ll be thinking after all mum, dad always say they’ll leave me but they never do so.
Dear intentional parents, I know that growing up as a child, we heard many threats from our parents that didn’t make us happy then, right? Imagine your child hearing the same from you or hearing it in another form, your child will feel the same. I believe we don’t want it to become generational right? So, I’d suggest you think through your words before you speak to your child. Doing this will help you use the right words per time.
