Nagging & unpleasant words spoken

Nagging & unpleasant words spoken, comparisons & blame, rude behaviour and careless treatment meted out adversely damages self worth & self esteem of a child.  The adjectives used like useless, pathetic, good for nothing fellow, stupid, idiot etc  makes them feel humiliated invites impolite response as they rebel and react with brazenness to express defiance. Instead comprehending their needs, supporting, walking & empathizing with them in challenging times builds up their confidence & develops qualities of patience, tolerance & acceptance, prepares & strengthens them to handle uncomfortable challenges. Valuing his/her existence, spending time with him, encouraging child’s initiatives & making learning a fun process while growing up builds an everlasting bond and grooms & conditions the child to accept & reciprocate in a style that is not found weird/awkward. Recognition and genuine praise in public or even in private duly appreciating his/her achievement makes the child feel important, brings a natural smile and motivation to excel.
