Children are human beings and human beings make mistakes. It will be often that your child will make mistakes and as a parent, you sure will have keep prepared for it.
Correcting your child’s behaviour can avoid the consequences of a blunder done by your child. If you keep criticizing them for doing blunders/mistakes and repeatedly tell them that “they are bad”, “they have no sense” and “they will never do anything in life”, you are encouraging to behave obnoxiously with you.
Whatever the case, you must not direct them to feel bad about themselves as it will lower their self-esteem.
Correct the child’s behaviour, not the child. Be A Good Parent Today! Happy Parenting!

Ayesha believe me, I have told many parents to stop criticising their child or children but all goes down the drain; the more you tell them not to, they agree in front of you and the moment your back is turned, they are at it again. Sometimes I jokingly tell my family that it is the parents who need to be taken to a psychologist, not the children.
Hey, it is long time I have not see you around my site.
Hi sangeeta..,
Was busy from last few days..,
Just went through your blog, Excellent posts on Child psychology..a better way to understand kids.
I agree with your comment on “parents criticizing behavior”..but they have grown up far ahead in their age and habits to get a desired change.
At least lets make our new mom’s aware by sharing some better tips to become a better parent.
Do keep posting.
We can make the moms aware but when they also side the father and go against the child, then serious problems crop up. Poor moms then fall in a fix as to whose side they should take.
Hi Sangeeta..,
I truly agree on the Husband-Sons dilemma in which the moms find themselves fixed..!
I think father’s too need a thorough parenting tip before stand up to take the huge responsibility.
What do you say..??
Yes, you are hundred percent correct. Why as a father; boys must be taught from a young age how to shoulder responsibilities (like we teach our girls); how to grow up being a responsible person.
Fathers who have been trained with parenting tips, they also faulter badly. Basically, I find that they tend to leave everything to the mothers. Then, when the child is about 15, they try to take over.
Sangeeta..that’;s really true..!why to go far i find this @my home everyday. My mom pampering my bro..is just getting him lazy..!
These “in love with son” parents do not understand the circumstances it will honor on the married life of their sons and the burden their better-half will have to bear…..
