11 Parenting Mistakes That Ruin a Child’s Growth

[@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL]

Hey there, BrightSiders, how many children would you like to have?

[@corrosivenanomagnet]

My mom made everything magical. Even going to the market seemed like a great adventure. She taught us while we were out. She gave us clipped coupons and had us find the items in the market so we could learn to shop. She always hugged and kissed us. I love my mom and feel very fortunate to have her.

[@TheReetchou]

[@alannaschaat]

I was heavily abused as a child, both mentally and physically from most of my family. Now I’m growing up realizing that this is not only affecting me but the way I treat others. So I’m sitting here educating myself, watching video after video so I don’t grow like my family. There is nothing wrong with re-educating yourself. I hope the person reading this and trying to be the best they can, I hope you succeed.

[@flav6226]

My dad scolded me big time during my childhood and many yrs later I still haven't forgotten. As a result I am cold towards him, yes he tries to maintain a relation but I am just unable to feel a connection. Please do yourself a favor and let a child be a child and learn things at his or her own pace, show love and attention and great things will happen later on.

[@ineedtocleanmyroom1270]

Exactly, my dad yells and gets mad at me for the dumbest things. Both my parents make me insecure and confused about myself, so I don't really know how I feel about them. I know I don't like my father at all though for plenty of reasons. He also only got with my mom and had kids in hope of one of us signing his papers 😒 only if he treated me better then yes I probably would in the future. 😬😔

"another toxic traits of a parent is when they are more concern on what others might say, rather than listening to their children explanation."

[@gaurigoyal5744]

RIGHT! Most of the times when I make a mistake my parents don't care about the mistake i made but rather they are more worried about what other people will say. And then they put out that frustration of what other people will think on me

[@grandma1516]

True, if I did my mum would say that I'm talking back and just get angry at me, so I'm not experienced with serious arguments....

[@fenix1977]

that was me w my mother

[@chandrashrestha6825]

Yeah right

[@christie2976]

Yup that's my mom she cares more about her reputation than me the younger child and said I'm not normal like other kids and cares so much about what other people will think of her when they see me......

[@IhAv3jUST]

I think another thing is patience. I've seen a lot of family members give up when they don't know what to do and just give their children a tablet or phone. Spending time with them and taking time doing things will definitely help raise a hally and fulfilled family.

[@NIJA29]

My favorite childhood memory is the summer of 1988. I was turning 8 and it was just me and my mom. She bought me my favorite record album which was Lisa Lisa & the cult jam!!! She also bought me a stereo. We had the best time ever.. I remember really really starting at my mother and thinking how much I love this woman what would I do with out her. She’s my everything..

[@mrs.bartlett6047]

nini D 🥰 I think about giving to many material things to my daughter sometimes. I think to myself , she would remember a trip with the family more than she would remember a doll or something that I got her and she just throws down 10 mins after getting it. But after reading your comment I think that some material things can indeed be apart of a memory as well, especially if I show interest in it with my daughter. Thanks for sharing your memory and giving me something to ponder. Your mom sounds like an amazing mother

[@linefire9870]

if the mistake is made in public, and the parents reprimanded immediately, that's the kid's problem.

[@nvmee8]

Too late for me, sadly I learned what NOT to do with my kids from my parents.. so far I think I’m on the right track ! Neglect and lack of interest was horrible but it definitely helped me understand how important a mother’s love and attention is to a growing child

[@Cvcyxt]

I never got attention, my mom would always be on her phone when I would say Mama, she would say Okay, I wish I wasn't lonely or ignored. At the park I saw a mother and a daughter playing with each other I was like awww I wish that would be me.

[@anarup916]

You need to learn the positive side too. You can't learn everything from the negative

[@goonzaaleezz]

Charissa Henderson I could say that I feel the same way but I can assure that it’s not every mistake on the video and you have to remember that our parents were children too and only reflected the behaviour to us. So it’s up to us how we deal with this and either we let these things define the person and identify of who we are and at the end of the day behind all the egoism a parent can have they will still love their children unconditionally in their own unique way

I am blessed to have wonderful parents and I always safe and secure with them. I'm in my 40's and I still ask for their advice. I haven't seen them in last 6 years as they live in another country, but there is hardly any day when we don't talk to each other. Definitely all the parents can not be perfect and I also had my share, but they gave me the best whatever they could. I wish them a long life and good health. Love you mom and dad. They taught me to become a good parent. My son is 21. We both argue, fight, hug and love each others a lot. My son listens to me and I listen to him. I advise him on many things but not try to force until I feel that is required, because sometimes we have to learn from the past experiences and no parents want their children to get hurt. I wish all parents get loved by their children and children get loved by their parents.🙂

Communication with their children is the most important part of an upbringing #7- they didn’t educate them about money #8- they didn’t make their child happy enough. #9- they didn’t hug their children often enough #10- they weren’t consistent.

I was 24/7 under some kind of punishment. Rest of the time I was alone. Now I'm 20 and I'm dealing with so many mental disorders, ilnesses and phobias that I cant even count. I started my theraphy 2 years ago and I dont think I'll be done with it for another 30years at least. This video was hard to watch for me.

Marek. Kostanty uh I was born in the 2000’s so I had electronics lol. And I’m talking about kids. 0-12. Maybe 10 and up you can have iPads to play on. But little kids don’t need electronics. They have toys and TV. Then when they have electronics have limits on them. My little cousins had iPads from they were 1 years old, and my aunt complains about how they don’t play with their toys and hangs out with family... maybe you shouldn’t give little kids electronics in the first place!

Instead of being proud she just resorted to her condescending nature and changed the topics and focused on small talk as that's all she knew.

Be happy in your own life and your children will feel that positive energy all around them. If you are unhappy they will feel unsafe & lonely.

I recall my earliest childhood memories consisted of both my parents going to work while my maternal grandmother was the babysitter all day. It often made me feel left out because my classmates always had their mom or dad take them to school and pick them up while my grandmother was the only one available. There were also moments where my grandma ended up bringing along my cousins to my house because my aunts and uncles couldn't get a babysitter on their own time and asked her last minute to watch them. It was one thing for my parents to not be home due to work, but it was so annoying how those moments made my house feel like a play area because my grandmother pretty much allowed them to do whatever they wanted just so she could keep up with housework. My parents always paid her to do so but never my aunts and uncles.
