Parents' words can leave lifelong scars on their children.

Parents are more responsible when they are your age.

Comparing and giving examples of what parents could do when they were children is the biggest mistake. Parents need to remember the mistakes, shortcomings or times they upset their parents when they were children. Older parents are more knowledgeable and experienced. Therefore, saying that they were more responsible when they were your age will make your child lose confidence.

I always make wrong decisions.

Parents should not punish their children, because everyone is allowed to make mistakes. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. Your child may study a field that you are not interested in or work for a company that you are not proud of, but that does not mean that parents can criticize their children for the decisions they have made. Parents are there to guide and advise, but not to force their children to do what they want.

Why can't I be like my brother/sister?

This is an unreasonable comparison that many parents make. This can cause your children to have resentment when comparing their abilities. Parents who compare like this will create emotional rifts between siblings. If you do not want your children to have negative thoughts, parents should avoid this type of evaluation.

Leave mom/dad alone

In life, there are times when parents need their own space or in other words, to be alone. However, children sometimes do not understand this. Therefore, there are times when parents are impatient and lack calmness, so they shout "Leave me alone". This sentence may make parents less angry, but it makes children feel abandoned. Therefore, parents should be calm to avoid saying such sentences.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

This is a terrible saying for any child. There are naughty children, there are children who cause trouble for their parents but that does not mean that parents will blame their children like that. Parents should have better ways and gentle advice to help children understand the bad and the good.

You are like your parents

Not all couples have a happy marriage when living together. Therefore, there are couples who will separate or divorce after a period of living together. From bad things, conflicts and disagreements between the two such as cracks in the relationship between parents. Therefore, when a father or mother vents hatred and resentment towards the other on the child, the child will gradually lose respect.

I always find ways to make my parents suffer.

There are times when children will hurt their parents because they go against their parents' expectations. However, the above statement will make children feel guilty behind their decisions or actions. Children may indulge their parents to make them happy, but this will inadvertently rob them of their happiness. Let them decide for themselves and let them live a life without feeling guilty.

It is better to have no children than to have children like you.

This sentence may be an expression of anger but can have serious consequences. This is a sentence that should not be said to children, because it causes negative thoughts in children and affects the feelings between parents and children. No matter how angry you are, you should not say this sentence to your children.
