You Will Learn About Some Common Parenting Mistakes

By Jenefer Garcia


It is impossible when raising children to avoid making the occasional bad decisions. Is is not so much what you do, but that you are consistent at it.

Most parents will make the mistake of inconsistency. It's easy to fall into this trap without even being aware of it. This is an instance in which your kids are going to be smarter than you. To use one example: when you constantly threaten your children with discipline that you very rarely actually dish out, they'll learn that you aren't one to listen to. Maybe they will figure out exactly how to talk you out of actually delivering on what you have promised, When it comes to discipline you need to practice some consistency and ensure that your rules stay the same every single day. You don't have to inflict unnecessarily harsh punishments when rules get broken but they do need to be predictable. To put it simply, when you make rules you need to consistently enforce them.

We all see parents who are constantly criticizing their kids, and we might be guilty of this ourselves. The important thing is to focus on the child's behavior and not say things that are meant to shame or belittle the child. To call your children stupid or lazy, will only make them believe that they are. Treating your children like they are stupid will make their grades go down and not up. Only positive encouragement will help your child gain confidence. Being called stupid or bad does not make your child feel good, in fact it will deter them from trying to do better.

The children who get help with their schoolwork, are said to do better, than children who do not get help. If parents and teachers communicate, they can address any problems where the child needs improvements. Communicate with your children after you check their report cards as to how their classes are going. Your children's success at school is greatly enhanced by your interest in their classes and report cards.

Trying to be your child's best friend is another common mistake parents make. Obviously you shouldn't give up on the idea of forming a close relationship with your kids. What's important here is to understand that a friend is different than a parent. As a parent you will, once in a while, need to do the things that keep you from (hopefully temporarily) being your child's favorite person ever. Sometimes you have to say "no" and to make sure that the rules get enforced and followed. If you're constantly seeking your child's approval, you are not going to be able to fulfill your role as a parent responsibly. Your child needs you to be a parent, so make sure you act like one.

With the pressures of the modern world, it is extremely difficult to be a great parent and raise children be a normal adults With many families today, the husband and wife work outside of the home and have multiple duties at home besides raising their children. Doing our best is almost fundamentally impossible, while living in this day and age. What's important is that we catch ourselves and start doing things differently.
