TITTLE: LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO ๐ช
A psychologist has revealed that the tone of voice in which you speak to your children could have unpleasant, long-term repercussions.
There are instances in which you could be accidentally negatively impacting your child’s life
1. COMPARING YOUR CHILDREN
You may love your children an equal amount, but if one has achieved more and you have a tendency to introduce them to people with a qualifier. But don't do so for their sibling, that may have an impact.
For example, you might say: “Here’s my clever daughter, Amira Fazreenna. And here’s my youngest child, Iman,” which isn’t even.
That’s the kind of bullying that’s very subtle. It is insulting, it is pulling down (the other child). Parents can be guilty and not be aware. Children notice these things more than you might realise.
2. USING LABELS
Playful nicknames can seem harmless, but they could actually scar a child for life if used often enough. Of course, you shouldn’t wrap your child in cotton wool, but name-calling from a parent can seriously damage a child’s confidence.
3. SETTING AN EXAMPLE OF BULLYING
Not only do children pay attention to what their parents say , they also pick up on what you do. So if they see their father talking down to their mother, they may start to think it’s alright for men to treat women as inferior and for women to accept it.
4. LETTING FAVOURITISM INFLUENCE DISCIPLINE
Although your parents probably always denied it, some do have favourites, and often wrong doings of those children go unpunished where their siblings’ don't.
When you children argue, it’s paramount to listen objectively to each of them so you can react fairly. And even if older siblings should be more sensible, it’s important not to neglect their emotional needs either.
What we don’t see is that the origin of the behaviour could be the home, so let’s be aware of how we discipline our children. We have to do away with putting down or emotionally labeling our children.
