Ten Harmful Expressions THAT CAN RUIN A CHILD’S MENTAL STABILITY AND PERSONALITY

1. VERBAL ABUSE: To speak to one’s child using abusive words, e.g. “You’re a donkey, you’re an animal, you’re a dog.”

2. NEGATIVE DESCRIPTION: To insult one’s child by using negative descriptions such as “You’re naughty, you’re ugly, fat, etc.” These kinds of words can make a child feel inadequate and inferior, breaking his heart. Thus, these kinds of words should be avoided.

3. COMPARISON: To compare your child to his siblings or relatives, i.e. by saying: “So and so is better than you.” Comparing children can harm a child. It can make him feel worthless and cause him to hate those around him and those who you are comparing him to. It is as if you don’t consider him anything, as though you are telling him he has no value. No wonder some children hate their siblings and beat them.
