Top 12 Parenting Mistakes You Might Not Be Aware Of That Have Negative Impact On Kids

#5. Not appreciating your child

Be a fan of your child; boost their spirit by acknowledging their good deeds and works.
Be sincere in telling your kid how well he did in school, at home or anywhere.

A child craves their parent's attention. Sometimes parents are too busy with work load and other chores in the house and the only time you talk to your child is when you scold them for doing something wrong. Logically if they want your attention and you only notice their mistakes, they may do wrong deeds just to get your attention.

If you will make it a habit to give time to genuinely praise them for a good deed, then you will win their heart and they will continue to do good things. Isn't it wonderful to get those two effects on your child?

#6. Not establishing boundaries with your child

Keep in mind that you are a parent and not a friend. The two are far different from each other. Being a parent, you need to implement rules and have to be strict.

Leaning to the friendly side of being a parent may cause you a difficulty in giving punishment or discipline to your child. Remember that setting a boundary between you and your child is the key.

A friend is someone who is on the same level of relationship. Meaning your friend cannot punish you or ground you for doing something wrong. As a parent, you are above your child. You have the authority, you are the person in charge but at the same time you give them the freedom to choose and decide with your supervision and constant support.

If you love your child to grow up well, keep him in a good track. Punishments are given to eliminate blossoming bad behavior.
