You should not say certain things to your child. Avoid comparing yourself to others and tell your child you're not mature. Also, do not cry. While these things might seem innocent, they can actually cause a lot of emotional pain.
Avoiding comparing yourself to someone else
Comparing yourself with others is a dangerous habit. This makes you feel negative and also drains your energy. Comparing yourself to others' lives is a sure way to make mistakes and to get worse. In fact, it can lead to depression. Moreover, comparing yourself to other people's lives increases your time-spending and feelings of envy. Focus on your own goals and avoid comparing yourself to other people.
Comparing ourselves to others can be detrimental because it doesn't tell us the whole story. You may see one person as successful and rich. But you will never find out if they are struggling with addiction or pain. Similar to the colleague you may find attractive but not knowing that he has two children with his ex-wife.
Avoiding telling your child they're immature
You should not tell your child that they aren't mature enough if they are struggling with a certain skill. This can make your child feel uneasy and discourage them from sharing their feelings. Instead, try to help your child find a new and exciting hobby.
It is important not to tell them to stop crying
It can be even worse for your child to hear you telling them to stop crying. It will give your child an impression that you are getting irritated at their tears. This will only make them feel worse. Instead, focus on minimizing the event and encouraging your child to share their feelings with friends or other adults.
To help your child cope with difficult emotions, you can use positive phrases. Even though most people want to tell their child not to cry, sometimes they come off as rude, dismissive or demeaning. This will not only make your child feel worse but it will also increase his or her need for assistance in the future.
Saying "you're fine" is not a good idea.
Problems can arise when you say "You're okay" to your child. It can be problematic because we may think that our children are trying to assure them that everything is okay, even though it might not. Most things that cause distress in a two year old aren't catastrophic. Most of all, when we say "you are okay", we mean it. Sometimes children don't need to be comforted by the words.
Instead of saying "you’re okay" and then asking your toddler, "Why aren’t you upset?" This will help your child understand what is bothering him. By doing this, you will be able to determine the best course of action. Avoid saying "you’re okay" to your child when you are concerned about him falling.
Your child should not be told to express their feelings
You can communicate with your child by using metaphors. This will help you avoid having to tell them what to feel. To communicate how your child feels, you can use the metaphor of the body. Similarly, instead of telling your child not to cry, you could ask them about what they're feeling and what they can do about it. You can even praise them when they express their feelings in a constructive way.

What is a healthy way to live for a parent?
Healthy lifestyles for parents include eating well-balanced foods, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and spending quality time with loved ones. It includes abstaining from drugs and alcohol.
Is gentle parenting good?
It all depends on what you mean when you say "good." If you want to talk about the way children are treated, then yes. If you ask me if it's beneficial for them, then I would say yes. They need to be disciplined and firm at times. If they don't, they won't be able to learn how behave properly.
Children need rules and limits. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They won't know how to respect others and follow directions.
I don't know which parenting style is more effective. All three styles are equally effective. Finding the right one for you and your family is key.
