1. Skipping school
Never allow your child to skip school unless their are sick or their is a genuine reason why they have to skip school. As children grow, depending on how they have been nurtured by their parents, they tend to become more rude(though not all) and if you cannot control it when they are young.They will grow into it and even refuse school and there is nothing that will be done. You should however ensure that you provide the best environment for your child to learn so that they don’t hate school at a young age.
2. Eating junk foods
Children obviously love junk foods but that however should be regulated by their parents. Just because your children love junk foods doesn’t mean that is the only thing you should buy them.As a parent you can curb that behavior at a young age. Parents should however be careful not to do it in a manner that will make children think that they are being denied their rights. Don’t bann the foods completely but just ensure that others foods are also taken to have a balance.
3. Never allow your child to argue with an adult
As a parent this is the last thing you should ever tolerate among your kids. Children learn to respect adults when they are young and That cannot be inculcated into their system when they are old. Never allow your child to argue with an adult, That however doesn’t mean you should never listen to your child’s side of the story. Some adults are known to be very mean and as a parent, you have to also ensure that such adults don’t take advantage of your children.
4. Show disrespect to authority
We live in a society where there is authority everywhere right from homes to schools to highways to shopping malls and other places. Children learn this things so well when they young and they grow into it. We will find authority everywhere we go and if your child starts disrespecting authority when young, then it will be hard for them to survive in the modern society.
5. Use force to demand for their needs
We have heard of the saying when democracy fails, force is applied. There is no where force produces results and some who have applied force have even had to pay with their own lives at a very young age. Teach your child to respect the opinion of other people and know they will not always be right.
They would rather sometimes to lose not because they are wrong but for the sake of peace. It starts there at home, if you allow your child to always use force inorder to get what he wants, then that is how he will turn out to be even as an adult, some will even fight just for the sake of it and that is why every parent should be careful about this.
6. Being jealous about their siblings
You have had of brothers and sisters of the same parents hating each other right from a ripen young age. Even after they grow the hatred still grows and some even don’t want to see each other ever in life. Such kind of rivalry only exists if the parent tolerated it from a young age. As a parent, be careful and don’t take it lightly when your kids hate on each other. If you don’t correct that the jealous may grow up until a ripe old age.
7. Hide mistakes
As a parent, you are the one who can make your child trust you with his or her problems. A child may sometimes hide mistakes from the parent either because they are afraid of their parent or they don’t trust their parents. As a parent, create an atmosphere that will allow your kids to open up on their mistakes or you may raise an adult who may be a threat to the society in the future.
