These are the things you shouldn't say to your child. Avoid comparing yourself to others and tell your child you're not mature. Also, do not cry. Although these actions may seem innocent, they can lead to a lot of emotional pain.
Don't compare yourself with someone else
Comparing yourself to others can be a destructive habit. This not only makes it difficult to feel good, but also drains you of energy. Comparing your life to others is not a way to improve. This can actually lead to depression. Comparing yourself to others can lead to depression and increase your time-spending. Focus on your own goals and avoid comparing yourself to other people.
The problem with comparing yourself to others is that it does not show the whole story. One person may appear successful and wealthy, but it's impossible to know their inner lives. Similarly, a colleague may seem attractive, but you'll never know that he lives with his ex-wife and has two kids.
Tell your child not to say they are immature
Don't tell your child they're not mature if they have difficulty with a skill. It can make them feel uncomfortable or discourage them from speaking out about their feelings. Instead, encourage your child to find a new hobby that interests them.
Do not tell them to stop crying
Your child may be more upset if you tell them to stop crying, despite what you may think. It will give your child an impression that you are getting irritated at their tears. This will only make them feel worse. Instead, you should try to minimize the incident and encourage your child to talk about their feelings with other adults.
You can support your child through difficult times by using positive phrases and helping him or her process their emotions. While it is common for parents to say that their child should stop crying, this can sometimes come across as disapproving, demeaning or worse. This will make your child feel worse and increase their need for help.
Do not say "you're okay."
Being able to tell your child that "you are okay" can cause problems. This is a way of saying that we want our children to feel safe and secure, even when it's not. It's not a catastrophe for most things that trouble two-year-olds. Most of the times, we mean what we say when we say "You're okay". Sometimes children don’t feel able to take comfort from the words.
Instead of saying "You're okay" or "It's okay" to your toddler ask "Why are you upset?" This will help your child understand what is bothering him. You will then be able to identify what needs to change. If your child is afraid of falling, you should not say "you are okay" to him.
Do not tell your child to express themselves.
It can be an effective way to communicate with your child using metaphors. You can use metaphors such as the body to discuss how your child feels. Instead of telling your child to stop crying, ask them what they feel and what you can do. You can even praise them when they express their feelings in a constructive way.

Is permissive parenting right?
While they aren't necessarily bad, permissive parents can be dangerous. However, it is important to recognize that children learn from both negative and positive experiences. They also have to be willing to accept responsibility for what happens when they don't discipline their kids properly.
They should also be prepared to take action if their child misbehaves.
As a parent, it is important to establish limits and enforce them. You must be consistent.
These are the rules to help raise healthy, happy adults who respect others.
What is positive parenting?
Positive parenting styles help children become happy and well-adjusted adults. They teach them how to be constructively and positively receptive towards others.
They teach children how they can deal with conflict and stress, how to resolve conflicts peacefully and how to deal with disappointment.
Positive parenting also helps children to develop self-discipline as well as responsibility. It teaches children how to take decisions and solve problems themselves.
It encourages them take risks and to try new things. They learn to work hard and be successful in life.
Is it better to be a strict parent?
I believe you should strive to be a strict mother. It's crucial that children learn how to behave. They should also be disciplined if they behave badly.
You have to teach them how to act properly. You don’t want them to be wild or they could hurt another person.
You'll find it more difficult to be strict than to be permissive. Allowing your children too much freedom will make them rebel against you.
If you give them too much freedom they won't be able to control their behavior.
Although it is difficult to be a strict parent, I believe it is worth it.

How to become a better parent
Good parenting is giving your children love and support. It is being there for them when they need it most, even if it means getting up early or staying up late. Good parenting involves teaching your children the skills necessary to be responsible adults.
It is not easy to be a great parent. Sometimes you may feel like you're struggling to keep up with your kids' demands. Every child must learn from their mistakes. If we try to teach our children right and wrong, they will become responsible adults who can understand the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Parenting means ensuring that your children get enough rest, eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. It also involves spending quality time together, having conversations about their day, listening to your feedback, practicing social skills. Your children don't have a right to everything. However, you do need to show them that positive behavior.
Your job as parent is to help your children become successful adults. It doesn't necessarily mean that you won’t struggle at times; it just means that your job is done well if you can laugh even while you cry.
