Parenting has always considered to be a tough job. It is not only limited to nurturing and fulfiling the kids wishes, but the parent action and reaction towards their child also plays crucial role. A child always look after their parent and their action is what influence them most.

Parents actions significantly shape their children's development, influencing their cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral outcomes. Modeling positive behaviors, providing a supportive environment, and consistent discipline all contribute to a child well-being and future success. Therr are certain generic action which highly influence the child. Here are the few example of parent common behaviour that may affect child growth :
- Parents make their child feel guilty to get them to do what they want instead of talking things through. They might say, "after everthing I have done for you this is how you repay me? This makes the child feel bad and pushes them to act out of guilt rather than their own choice.
Instead of discussing problems parents ignore their child to show they are upset. This can make the child feel anxious and desperate to fix things, even if they have not done anything wrong. It teaches them that love and attention can be taken away as punishment.
Parents make their own struggles seem worse to dismiss their child feeling. If a child say they are sad, the parent might reply, " you think you have problems? "You have no idea what we going through". This makes the child feel guilty for having emotions.
- Parents compare their child to siblings friends or other children to push them to do better. They migt say, "why cannot you be more like your cousin? This can make the child feel like they are never good enough and lower their self esteem.
- Some parents only show love and approval when their child behaves as they want. Instead of loving them unconditionally they make affection a reward for obedience. This teaches the child they must earn love instead of being valued for who they are.
Dismissing emotions : Saying things like " you are too sensitive" or that idnt happen", makes a child feel like theur feeing dont matter. Over time this can casuse self doubt and make it hard for them to trust their own emotions.
Noticing these patters does not mean blaming parents, but understanding how they affect the growth of the child. With awareness, we can set healthy boundaries, communicate better, and build healthier relationship in the future.
In good faith - Peace!!

My wife and I are babysitting our niece's daughter and she was a bear to get to sleep last night. Definitely not something we are very used to since we don't have kids of our own...
