Raising a child needs commitment and hard work. Some parents often lament about their child's bad behaviour without knowing that they are partly to blame for this.
Your child's esteem plays a critical part in their future lives. If your child has esteem issues, we have outlined things you are doing that can lower your children's self-esteem.
1. Yelling at your partner
Yelling at your partner can affect your children in different ways. It makes them feel inferior whenever you are together. There are better ways you can express yourself than yelling at him or her.
2. Dwelling on past mistakes
Always let bygones be bygones. Dwelling on the things that happened in the past is a grave mistake because it can be a source of discouragement. Instead, focus on things that will make you grow from strength to strength over time.
3. Sarcastic talks
The way you use your words is crucial in a relationship. Avoid being sarcastic in your talk. Children emulate us in different ways. Your child is also likely to embrace the same if you are not careful. It is recommended to say things the way they are rather than being sarcastic.
