Here are a few words parents shouldn't direct at their
children:
1. I'll rather remain childless than have a child like you:
This is an example of an emotional outburst in its
extreme. It's not only hurtful but disgraceful and
means you have no self control as a parent.
2. Why can't you think properly for once: They are
called children for a reason. Kids aren't really capable
of making good decisions and need a little push or
shove towards the right direction. Children learn
everyday and this includes making mistakes.
3. 'I used to be more responsible when I was your age':
Comparing your children and telling them what you
were capable of doing at their age would make them
lose respect for you. You don't have to rub their
shortcomings in their faces and destroy their self-
confidence.
4. 'Why can't you be more like your elder/younger
sibling': This is an unreasonable comparison. You are
bound to create a rift between your children if you keep
comparing one to another.
5. Leave me alone!: As much as we want to spend time
alone, your kid may want to discuss something
important at that same time you seek for a 'me' time.
Screaming at them to let you be would make them feel
neglected and sad. A little patience with these little
ones will do the trick.
