Stop Butchering Their Childhood with Bad Parenting
This Article Deals with Some Bad Parenting Habits, Which Can Really Ruin a Child's Life
First bad parenting habit- Stop living your dream through your child. That is the number 1 bad parenting habit on my list. I cannot stand it when parents push their kids to do things they could not achieve. How unfair is that? Be it dance, art, music or sports. Encourage your child, but remember one thing.Your child is a unique individual and not YOU! So stop pressurizing him/her to take up activities you want them to.
Obviously, you can't sit back and watch them do things that are nasty or wrong. That is not what I am saying. I am saying, don't act like a typical 'child star's' guardian. Those kids have no childhood. 1 life, 1 childhood. Don't take it away from your child, just because you could not live your dream.
Second bad parenting habit- Don't over pamper your kids. I have seen so many kids getting anything and everything they want. Then they get yelled at, when they sulk on you not buying them the "pink barbie doll bag". Hello! You are at fault. Your bad parenting habit is at fault. You should be punished, not the child! Kids can be stubborn, yes. But only because you buy them anything they want. They throw a tantrum because they know they can have their way. So spend time with them and don't buy their love.
Third bad parenting habit- Pay attention when kids are with you. When you are walking on the street, your stupid cellphone call can wait. Your child needs your attention. I have seen parents walking on the street, with the child next to the roadside. I firmly believe that you need to be holding the child's hand, on the side which is away from the street. With all the road rage and crazy drivers who don't pay attention, you need to be careful. Don't get glued to the phone when your kid is running around in circles around you, least bothered about the vehicles.
Phew, I am done with the whole 'bad parenting' list. I just got mad at how some people use these bad parenting skills on their kids all the time, and decided to write what I saw. I don't have kids, but it's not rocket science.

Post a CommentA very nice article. You have some really good tips here.
great article, you sure have it right!
Thank you PhoenixRox, Yet another interesting and informative article.
I agree, but I'd have made number one - Don't abuse your child! I was and the childhood abuse impacts one for the rest of their life. Good article.
Children frighten me. I will never have children (god willing! and by god i mean godliness). Interesting article. How many parents realize the importance of those 'molding' years of a child?
Super tips! Parenting is an art and those who had good role models from their own parents may have a head start. But it is never too late to become a better parent, IMO, if the desire is there.
Great article. I agree with you
Good thoughts! Sadly, there are a lot of people who want to be better parents but, because they never experienced much in the way of 'good' parenting themselves, just don't know how. Parenting classes can be a real Godsend...
All excellent points and don't let the fact that you don't have kids keep you from writing more articles like this. Way to go!
Wonderful article. couldnt agree more. I hate being pressurised but my parents just do not understand. They pressurise me to stop working at home, to seek more of the formal education, to run specific errands and the list goes on and on. And guess what I am 24 and married.
