Children become what you teach them from when they are born. What parents should understand is that teaching kids includes what you tell them, what they see you do and what they see other people do. Once children from undesirable habits, it’s very hard for them to break them. Here are common bad habits children pick from their parents:
Lack of hygiene
Parents should always ensure their children are always clean. More so, they should always teach their children simple ways of keeping themselves clean. However, some parents neglect this duty and even keep themselves dirty most of their times. Children will think being dirty and unhygienic is no big deal, and so they will take this as their habit.
Cursing and hitting
Many families have been fighting and cursing each other. Through this way, their children see this and copy some bad habits from them. Children learn and they will hit other small children around them. More so, they will take in some bad words which they will be using in their daily lives.
Lack of punctuality
The way you do your things at home proves many things about you. Being late on delivering your duties has been a major problem for many parents. However, they should be worried because their children copy this habit from them. Being late to work, in delivering their assignments and in paying their bills makes their kids think it’s something normal.
Unwise food choices
We are what we eat. The type of foods you feed your children determines their health. Good choices of food make them healthy while bad choices make them unhealthy. More so, your children will adopt these bad choices of food which will only be affecting their health.
Laziness
Laziness is a habit developed from childhood. If a parent is lazy, her kids will also be lazy. Waking up late, failing to do your duties and avoiding some mandatory duties is a proof of being lazy. Children will learn and copy how their parents do their things.
