Consequently, children should have good experiences in the early childhood stages. This shapes the child’s brain and his/her capacity to learn, deal with others, and to respond life stresses and challenges.
Upbringing children is a so hard mission that parents face in family life. That the core responsibility relies on them. Especially, new parents should recognize the wrong ways of upbringing and try to avoid them.
Signs of wrong Upbringing:
1.Overprotective nature:
Some parents focus on keeping their kids physically and emotionally safe. Thus, most parents over- care their children and results in making them fearful and dependent. You should protect your children; however, be careful not to spoil them that they become afraid to learn or try any new activities.
Therefore, fathers should avoid smothering their kids and adopt a responsive and authoritative approach. That children need to give their own choices and own decisions too in order to know how to make decisions when they grow up.
2. Expecting perfection:
Perfectionist parents, to some extent, are successful people. Yet, they never feel satisfied enough.
There is no perfection in this life, so do not expect perfection in your kids. That every child has weak and strong points. Thus it is not a realistic goal and the children become frustrated whenever they make a mistake. Therefore, they will be low self-esteem.
You can avoid being a perfectionist by following those points:
- live your life for yourself and not for others!
- laugh with your kids even in some mistakes and don’t take all your matters overly seriously!
- listen to your feeling when you deal your kids and not to what is supposed to be done.
