Things We Should Never Say to Children - Beansprouts Pre School

Parenthood is the most complicated and tough task for parents. Parents are the ultimate role model for children. What you say and do are observed very keenly by your children. Each word you speak has a very strong impact on your little ones. Therefore, it is imperative to think twice before you say anything to your children. There are many phrases that look innocent but can have pejorative effects on a child.

Beansprouts, Gurgaon, keenly follows the principles of respecting everyone’s individuality, be it young or old. Human psychology is very intricate. A simple word or phrase spoken casually can have a lasting impact. Abusive language and harsh words are a strict no in conversation with the child. Let us analyze a few and take some corrective measures.

Resistance words/instructions

The parents use words like Don’t, can’t, should’ve to make children feel inclined to follow instructions. They fail to see the negative connotation where the child feels he is not allowed any freedom as if he is doing everything wrong. These phrases/ words sound threatening. These words can be converted to positive words to teach the children in a better way.

Great job done

When we use phrases like good job, way to go, proud of you, practice will make you perfect, we condition the child to look for such reinforcement after every work. It will also put a lot of pressure on the child as he feels responsible for his parent’s reputation.

Body shaming

Even though the children are very young in Beansprouts Montessori School yet we ensure never to use any word that comments on their physical appearance. It’s a matter of their self-esteem; though they are still kids. Objectifying your child by showing their embarrassing photographs to others is the most bizarre thing to do. When it comes to getting kids to eat a healthy diet, the science is clear: Focus on the benefits and delicious taste of healthy food, not on negative perceptions of their weight. Commenting on weight only worries kids and hurts their self-esteem. These kinds of statements will not just hurt your child, but they will even lead to emotional stress, eating disorders, self-consciousness, and more. The kid must love himself and feel confident and proud of himself. For more information, visit https://beansprouts.in/blogs/things-we-should-never-say-to-children/
