Mistakes Parents Make While Disciplining Children

If you avoid the below mentioned disciplining mistakes you can become the world's best parent. You can easily raise happy, well balanced and successful children. Read on to learn more about it.



Yelling at Children

Yelling at children is the biggest disciplining mistake that parents can do. Whatever is the state of the child, whether he or she is misbehaving, angry or frustrated, parents must learn to respond with love. Yelling can break them even more. Allthey need is a lot of love.


Hitting Them

One of the worst things that parents can do is hitting children. Hitting may not only hurt them but can leave scars on them for the lifetime. So, be very careful and do noteven think of hitting your children in your dreams.



Punishing Them Frequently

Punishing children is alright when they make mistakes but punishments should be constructive. Punishing them frequently for their little mistakes may discipline them but restrict them from living freely. It may instil a fear in them to even do the good things that are beneficial for their overall development.



Insulting Them in Front of Others

When children misbehave in public, parents should not insult them. Insulting them in public or in front of friends and relatives can lower their self-esteem and confidence. If your children are misbehaving in public you should take them away from the situation. You must make them understand calmly that their behaviour is not acceptable by anyone. 



Not Listening to Them


When you find that your child has done something wrong. Do not punish him or her without giving him or her chance to speak for himself or herself. Do not take any action without listening to your child. Find out what exactly happened and only then make a decision.



Over Pampering

There should be the right balance between everything if you want to raise well-mannered children. Do not over pamper them to discipline them. Do not givein to their demands every time. Always fulfil their needs and explain them calmly about things that you cannot afford or things that are not worth buying for them.



Not Talking to Them

You should never stop talking to your children if they are not listening to you. Keep the doors of communication open. Encourage your child to express. Talk to them continuously. Tell them stories, sing songs with them, play games with them, read to them. Never stop talking to them.



Threatening Them

Do not threaten them. Avoid giving them empty threats. Threatening them unnecessarily can instil fear in them. Misunderstandings about certain things may develop in their mind.



Comparing Themwith Others

Telling them about the good qualities of other children is not bad but comparing is. Comparison can develop inferiority or superiority complex in them which is not good. Always talk to your children in such a way that qualities like humbleness or kindness develop in them.



Ignoring Them

Just because they have done some mischief or something wrong, you should not ignore them. Try to correct their mistakes calmly. If they are upset cheer them-up and teach them to move-on immediately. Involve them in different activities that you are carrying out.



Not Spending Quality Time with Them

Not spending quality time with children can hamper the parent-child bonding. Therefore, it is a must for parents to spend some time every day with them. They can spend time with children while playing with them, telling them stories, singing songs with them, helping them with homework, etc.

Avoid the above-mentioned parenting mistakes at all costs. It will surely help you to raise a well-balanced, healthy and intelligent child. Preventing these mistakes will help you to avoid hampering your child's development to a greater extent.
