15 Things Every Parent Should Know by nkemdirim104(m): 1:25pm On Jul 05, 2015
1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you
over-react too harshly to their inappropriate
behaviour.

2. If your child is not taught to confide in you
about their mistakes, you have lost them.

3. If your child had poor self-esteem, it is
because you advice them more than you
encourage them.

4. If your child does not stand up for themselves,
it is because from a young age you have
disciplined them regularly in public.

5. If your child takes things that do not belong to
them, it is because when you buy them things,
you don't let them chose what they want.

6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help
them too quickly.

7. If your child does not respect other people's
feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your
child, you order and command them.

8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because
you give too much attention to misbehaviour and
you give little attention to good behaviour.

9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is
because you only congratulate them when they
successfully complete something and not when
they improve at something even if they don't
successfully complete it.

10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is
because you are not physically affectionate
enough.

11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because
you openly threaten to do something but don't
follow through.

12. If your child is secretive, it is because they
don't trust that you won't blow things out of
proportion.

13. If your child talks back to you, it is because
they watch you do it to others and think its
normal behaviour.

14. If your child doesn't listen to you but listens
to others, it is because you are too quick to make
decisions.

15. If your child rebels it is because they know
you care more about what others think than what
is right.
