 I was reading an article on Yahoo
about 5 things parents should never
say to their kids.
 
Every rule has its exceptions, but I
thought these had a lot of wisdom
in them:
 
1. "I don't care."
- As Elie Wiesel put it, "The opposite
of love is not hate, it's indifference."
2. "Act your age."
- Usually when kids are acting out,
they're having trouble themselves.
Address the issue. Don't suppress
it with a line like this.
3. "Say you're sorry!"
- Don't force your kid to apologize.
Instead, guide them to seeing why
their actions hurt someone else...
.. And guide them to apologizing
on their own.
4. "Don't you get it??"
- If you've taught your kid something,
and they still are having trouble with
it, obviously they don't get it.
Asking this just makes them feel insecure.
Instead, find out what they're having trouble
with and resolve it.
5. "I'm going to leave without you!"
- Kids need stability more than anything.
Lines like this, no matter how insignificant
they might seem, rock that stability.
Look, parenting is probably the hardest
thing on the planet! So if you slip up from
time to time, no one's going to hold it
against you.
 
But try to take these tips to heart. They
could really help ;-)
 
To great success,
