Few Myths About Raising Children That Are Not True

Have you ever been advised that parents shouldn't fight in front of their children, or have you ever told this to someone? Well, have fun.

We'll look at few myths about raising children that are probably not true.

First and foremost, children of strict parents are well-behaved: Children raised by strict parents may appear to be well-behaved to their parents, but they actually exhibit more behavioral problems than any other child.

The following is, "A bottom slap never hurts": Well you could think I was punished to a great extent as a kid and I ended up fine, so you most likely aren't causing everlastingly harm to your kid with a periodic hitting. The thing is, the point at which you punish you are bound to up the rate and beat more and harder in the event that your discipline methodology isn't working.
You want to be the person they go to, and if they are afraid of you, they will lie about it if they do something wrong, which they will.

Parents may believe that hitting their children will result in better behavior. They are creating a child who is exceptionally adept at hiding their bad behavior. It's okay for your child to see you upset; however, once you've calmed down, you can really address the situation in a way that will be more beneficial in the long run.

Children with strict parents are well-behaved: mm-hmm!
At the point when you believe I will be only a tyrant parent who simply says since I said so what you get is either an exceptionally unbending kid who is unnerved by you so they would rather not disrupt any norms or a kid who is decided to be extraordinarily defiant and have
oppositional issues since they can't feel seen and heard.
Limits that actually make your child feel safe are fine, but if you can do so in sensitive ways like discussions and back-and-forth interactions that show you're listening to your child and value their input, you can get them to open up and tell you about their mistakes because we all make mistakes and you want to help them through it.

This common myth states that saying "yes" means you'll fail. It probably stems from the idea that you don't set boundaries for your children, but saying "yes" means you want to go to that party even though I won't let you, and I know that's really hard. That encourages your child's brain to enter an open state; conversely, if you say "no, you're not going anywhere and you're not allowed to do that," your child will enter a defensive state and may argue with you and not hear you enter what is known as "fight, flight, or freeze."
It's good for your child to know that you understand them, but you shouldn't set boundaries, say yes to every question they ask, or say that they can do anything because you want them to be happy all the time.

Children are picky. Buy not all children are picky.
In contrast to when the food is reintroduced multiple times, say 10 to 15, many children spit it out when they try new foods.
At times for a food that your kid might have at first appear to dislike, on the off chance that you can make it appear to be to a lesser degree a fight it's to a lesser extent a fight for your kid to attempt to win.
Another factor is that parents can foster a child's tendency to be picky by accommodating their children's preferences. For example, if you worry that your child will starve if they don't get what they want, that they won't be able to attend school, or that they won't be able to eat a healthy breakfast unless you give them sugary cereal, you run the risk of perpetuating the self-fulfilling prophecy of a picky child.


Fighting in front of children is inappropriate for normal parents.
It's okay to start a fight, but show your kids how to end it so they don't have to deal with the awkwardness of wondering what's going on behind closed doors. Of course, if you can control yourself so that you can have a wonderful and open conversation as a disagreement, that's even better. However, try not to fight in front of your kids unless you're in such a state of tension that you say, "Let's take this in the other room," and you children will carry it up because they noticed.

Sitting near the television will harm children's vision.
This is a common misconception: sitting close to the television does not affect your vision. However, everyone should be aware that looking at the same thing for a long time, especially if it is close to you, can affect the eyes. To alleviate what we refer to as eye strain, you should ask them to look off in the distance.
You should talk to your pediatrician if you notice that your child sits close to the television because you think they can't see.
