Every parent wants to take their child on the right path, but sometimes their mistakes can push the child on the wrong path. These mistakes also include scolding children again and again. Some parents think that by being strict they can bring their children on the right path, but doing so can hurt the mental health of children. Therefore, give freedom to children and explain them in the right way. A study has found that if parents scold their children for every small thing, they can become victims of depression and other mental problems. Therefore, it is important to give freedom to children and explain it to them in the right way.
Repeatedly scolding children can hurt children's mental health in many ways. Let us know how.
Low self-esteem:
Scolding can make children feel weak and worthless. They may think that they are not good enough or that nothing they do is ever right.
Stress and Anxiety:
Scolding can make children stressed and anxious. They may be busy all the time thinking about what they are doing wrong and what they can do to avoid getting scolded.
Depression and other mental health problems:
Children can become victims of depression and other mental health problems due to repeated scolding. They may also feel thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Lack of social skills:
Due to scolding, children may face difficulty in developing social skills. They may avoid interacting with others and they may react negatively to others.
Repeatedly scolding children can have long-term effects on their mental health. Therefore, parents must think before scolding their children. If your child makes a mistake, try to explain it to him or positively punish him.
