5 Ways Parents Corrupt Their Children Unknowingly by RomanceClinic: 12:37am On Jul 24, 2016 |
Bearing children is not as important as bringing them up. This is because kids tend to rely on what they learned from their parents as basis for formulating their own lifestyle. That being said, things could get complicated when parents forsake their parental responsibilities. Aside forsaking parental responsibilities,, your children could also go wayward if you don't know what to teach them at the right moment This post tries to highlight some of the ways parents corrupt or mislead their own children without having a clue about it. We will also examine some things you should do or teach your children before they grow up. . 1. Being too busy : I have mentioned that children tend to rely on the ways of their parents as basis for formulating their own lifestyle. By implication , too busy parents will most definitely leave their children with no option but to form their own lifestyle either by themselves or based on what they copy from other children as well as people in general. Being too busy for the kids is mostly the case in a family where both parents are working full time in a corporate organisation. Some families tend to fill the vacuum by employing babysitters and nannies but the fact is : this will not resolve the issue as you may not be able to detect what traits the kids will copy from such employees. . 2. Beating a child as major punishment. Yes, spanking your kids is sometimes necessary because it makes them fear to repeat whatever wrong they did that warranted such. But on the flip side of it , beating your children often as the only punishment measure you administer may cause them to be stubborn in the long run. That's where you hear children say things like 'if I do this the highest thing my dad or mom will do is to flog me.' This is because their body may become used to the cane and then you know you have more trouble to deal with. A common resolve for this is to be creative. Try to use what they love most against them when they do wrong. For instance, if your child enjoys playing TV game after school then you should sometimes seize the game or stop the child from playing the game. But don't forget to tell him/her the reason(s) for your actions. . 3. Always Keeping your children indoors : If you have a female child, for example, you may be tempted to think that locking her up in the room and not letting her go out is one cool way to keep her away from bad friends. While the above may sound like the truth, it is actually a false believe. This is so in the sense that : aside denying your child the opportunity to mingle with their peer group, the day they eventually get out of your 'prison' They will do worst than what you can imagine. . 4. Feeling uncomfortable with discussing love matters : I personally grew up to find that my parents were the shy ones. They never felt okay with discussing love or relationship matters with us even though we were grown up enough to know these things then. Well I'm not saying you should push your kids into early relationships but you need to talk about it, tell them how to know a good partner, tell them what sex is and the dangers of early sex before marriage, help them understand everything they need to know. If you fail to do this, just be sure they will still learn these from somewhere else. So what if they learn it the wrong way? My suggestion is that from age 14 you should start teaching them and as time goes on, start asking about who their boyfriend or girlfriend is. Don't assume they don't have any especially from age 18. . 5. Quarrelling with your spouse while the kids are around : Well this Is a common trend these days. I have mentioned that your kids will copy whatever you do as parents. So fighting or quarrelling in their presence will automatically mean you are teaching them how to do same. My recommendation is that you settle every issue in your private bedroom and be sure both of you don't raise your voice or resort to fighting so as to avoid drawing the attention of the children.
