Parenting 101: What to Say and Not to Say to Your Kid
Being a parent is a difficult and full-time job. But the reward definitely is something that cannot be matched by anything in this world. Having responsibility over a life and knowing you are leading them to be the best person they can be is something many parents treasure fir their whole life. That is why it is very important for them to be able to know the right things to say and not say to their kids to guide them to become responsible and wonderful citizens. So to help parents with this, here are some tips:
Things to Say
• “I love you”. Kids need unconditional love from their parents. So it is very important for parents to always say these three magic words to their kids, no matter what people say about action speaking louder than words, to remind kids of how you feel about them. There is nothing wrong with giving affection to your kids.
• “Thank you”. Being parents doesn't give you the authority to just make your kids do things just because they have to, so it is best to show your gratitude when they did something for you. Not only will this teach them about the right use of these words, they will also feel special whenever they have done something right because they know that you appreciate them.
• “Great job”. As parents, your kids will need your approval all the time. No matter if it is things they will do or things they have already done. So it is very important for parents to show their kids that they appreciate the good things they did, no matter how small it is, so they will continue doing them. Giving them positive reinforcement all the time will go a long way in teaching them how to be good people.
Things Not to Say
• “I am the parent/adult, so I am right”. This is a common mistakes for parents because they think they are above their children. This attitude of arrogance and selfishness is something that is not needed if you want to teach your kid about right and wrong. Not just because you are the adult means you are right all the time. YOu should also learn how to listen to your kids and hear they out when they have something to say. By learning how to talk to kids, you can learn more about them instead of always showing them that you are the superior, which will help them become the best persons they can be.
• “Do as I say, not as I do”. Kids can absord everything they see and hear easily, especially when it comes from their parents. Saying these words to your children is like saying it to a deaf person: they will not understand you. So instead of telling your kids what to do, be good role models to them but doing only the things you want them to do. You want them to stop doing something, then don't let them see you doing it yourself. It may be a cliché, but it is definitely right to just practice what you preach.
• “No”. Though it is true that it is not good to always say yes to your kids, saying no to them all the time will also give them negative vibes. If you can't avoid saying no to them, learn how to say it in a more positive way.
Kids are very sensitive, especially on their earlier stages. So it is very important for parents to know what to say and not to say to them. This list is just a start, but hopefully it can help many parents in their journey as the shapers of the future generation's citizens.
