TOP 10 MISTAKESParents Make in Parenting.

and YES, you are NOT ALONE.

The good news is, they’re correctable.

#1 Skipping Explanation

Many parents thought that their

kids do not understand if they

explain. The truth is, even before

they understand words, they

already understand by looking at

the facial expression and voice

tone.

#2 Lie Lie Lie

Tell the truth, no matter what! If

you don’t have the money to buy

the toy that they want, just tell

them. Don’t lie by saying, “This

shop doesn’t sell that” or “It’s just

meant for display”. The fact is, you

can’t lie to them forever!

#3 Let them misbehave

because you don’t want

them screaming in public

Sometimes, you just have to let

them scream in public so that they

know that you mean it. Losing to

them over screaming just make

them in control even more.

#4 Not Being Consistent

Don’t just give in just because you

are tired to babysit. If they can’t

watch tv after 8pm, you just can’t let

them watch at 8pm even during the

days when you are just tired and

hoping the tv will let them quiet for a

while. Be consistent!

#5 Expecting Others to

Discipline your Kids

It just doesn’t work that way. Other people just can’t do it for you. Your kids will definitely behave when the person who discipline them is around. But when you are in charged, they won’t! That, you just have to believe!

#6 Overusing Punishment

Use reward instead. They will feel

motivated to behave. Punishment,

sometimes, can be the reason for

them to misbehave just because

they know you will pay attention to

them when they misbehave.

#7 Ignoring When They Call

Even when you are talking to your

friends, do answer when they call

because they will be louder and

louder because for them, you are

everything. If you have to, explain

that you are talking to your friend

and you will talk to them later.

#8 Shoving Them Off

Shoving your kids away just make

them feel unimportant. Sometimes

what they say means so much to

them even if it’s just a little piece of

paper. Let them know how

important they are by listening to

what is important to them.

#9 Threatening will make it

worseSome parents will just threat with

something that they can’t even

do. Ridiculous punishment like “If

you don’t behave, I will just leave

you at the shop” will certainly

affect your credibility as a

disciplinarian.

#10 Showing your Love is

not a Bad ThingSometimes parents think that comforting them, holding and hugging them will spoil them. Love can never spoil anyone. Affection can be felt if shown through touching and holding. A simple wipe on their tear means more than just drying the tear up. It may mean that you are making the pain go away.
