They are someone we look up to tell us the rules of this mystery we are born into.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is we are all human and we all make mistakes. However, to a child\u2019s mind its parents are something A LOT more than just a human.<\/p>\n<p>They are its creators, its caretakers, its guardians, and they\u2019ve lived here before it was even born. Our mother and father are our goddess and god when we are young. They are the only thing we are familiar with in the midst of this vast unknown.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the reason why what parents do and how they behave becomes a crucial part of their children\u2019s psyche.<\/p>\n<p>They are an example mold for our early consciousness, something to look from when it develops our character.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our brain has a lot more neural connections when we are young. It absorbs almost everything that happens around us with a purpose to better adapt in its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>As we grow up it holds on only to the most used neural connections and it gets rid of everything that we don\u2019t commonly use.<\/p>\n<p>Our mother\u2019s and father\u2019s voice is something that gets integrated deeply into our psyche, it becomes our inner voice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The way they speak to us becomes the way our inner voice speaks to us, the way we speak to ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If they are angry most of the time they speak to us, if they are harsh and cold, if they shout and yell whenever we do something wrong, that\u2019s how we\u2019ll deal with ourselves whenever we make a mistake. But as we said, we are all human, we make mistakes and that\u2019s ok. The way you approach the mistakes is how you learn and overcome them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to speak to your child?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An insulting inner voice can prevent us from trying new things by making us feel worthless whenever we make a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>While a friendly inner voice can be our greatest support, guide and motivator in life.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it is crucial to speak to your child with kindness, love and honesty even if they make a mistake, or do something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>You will develop a voice inside their head that will support them in life whenever they need support, even when you are not there.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Or at least you can try to avoid saying these phrases:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>They are extremely damaging to a child\u2019s developing character!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cStop crying right now!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Usually when a kid does something it knows will be punished for they start crying. But even though there is no reason for them to cry, that\u2019s their emotion. They have all the right in the world to express how they feel. By saying this you are slowly programming your child to suppress its emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Instead you should kindly say:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cIt\u2019s ok to cry sweety, it\u2019s ok to show how you feel. But that doesn\u2019t make what you did a right thing to do.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Hug, and explain why it is wrong what they did.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cYou are worthless!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is possibly the worst thing you can say to a child. Especially when you are the person and the mental figure they expect most of to be given approval of. By saying this, you are putting your child on a never ending journey to seek approval from the outside world. Instead of helping them find their own worth inside, you are letting them believe they have nothing inside to find.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many things you can say instead of this, like:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cYou can do better!\u201d, \u201cNobody is perfect.\u201d, \u201cIt\u2019s not your day, you\u2019ll do better next time.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cBig boys\/girls don\u2019t get scared!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First of all, why are you lying to your kid. You are probably more frightened than they are throughout your day. Second, you are forcing them to reject what they are honestly feeling. Fear is not a bad thing, it reminds us when to be careful. You should not run away from it but face it, be aware, learn from it. And real courage is not being fearless, but facing your fear even if you are terrified.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of this, tell your kid:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cIt\u2019s ok to be scared buddy. All of us are scared sometimes. But I know there is courage inside you that will help you do the right thing even if you are scared. You are my little hero!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cI am disappointed in you!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Parents usually tell this to their children when they already feel bad. Trying to make them responsible for your disappointment is pretty selfish. You can be disappointed in a friend, you can be disappointed in a movie, or even your country\u2019s politics, but you can\u2019t be disappointed in your child. You are there to let them on a right path. So when they do something wrong, guide them back. Your disappointment is in your guidance, not your child. Teach your child what that they did is wrong and why.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of this, tell your kid:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cWhat you did is wrong, in my opinion. And I believe you made an honest mistake. Even if you chose to do what you did, I can assure you\u2019ll realize it\u2019s wrong after I explain. I know you can do better!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cYou are not [something] enough!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>By saying this to your children you are showing them a pretty restricted image of themselves. You are implying that there is something they are lacking in order for them to do what they love or be who they want to be. Even though you are not saying that they are not enough, you are programming their mindset that way. They are enough to be themselves. They always are. A tree is enough to be a tree even when it is only a seed. But it needs to grow in order to become what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of this, tell your kid:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cYou are enough to be or do what you love. But sometimes we all need to train or practice something before, in order to grow that way.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we are born, our parents are EVERYTHING we have in this world.
