The Impact of Parental Habits on Child Development

Psychologist Daniel Gorman once said, “”Family life is a child’s first school of inspiration for learning.””

Parents are considered the child’s first “”teachers,”” guiding them in their early steps in life. They are also the most important educators for a child’s development because every word and action of parents will inevitably influence them.

Each child is like a mirror reflecting their parents. When parents are happy, their children are likely to be happy as well. If parents frequently scold and berate, the children will grow up to be aggressive.

There is a saying that parents are the lifelong homeroom teachers of their children. To nurture an outstanding child, we must first become educated parents.

How would a child facing parents who cannot communicate empathetically feel?

Living in such a family, as they grow up, even a small disturbance can make children angry, or they may live in constant fear.

If parents constantly compare their children to “”other people’s children,”” it can lead to the child thinking they have no value and harm their self-esteem.

Some have said that a child would rather be pricked by a cactus than hear their parents’ mockery. In the past, many believed that physical punishment in education would make children behave better, but that is not entirely true. In fact, “”harmful outweighs beneficial,”” causing more harm than educational value.

On the contrary, think about it, if parents frequently speak positively, what kind of person will the child become? It’s hard to say, but it will be a fortunate aspect of the child’s life if parents are always open to listen and communicate, controlling their emotions in all circumstances. This can build in the child a friendly way of speaking and emotional management.

Changing the approach from violence to peace in education will strengthen the bond between parents and children and achieve educational goals.

Psychologist Daniel Gorman once said: “”Family life is a child’s first school of inspiration for learning.””

The psychology of parents will affect the family atmosphere and also influence how children live. If parents often complain, their children will have more negative energy. If parents are positive and optimistic, their children will be more confident.

Children have a strong perception of their parents’ emotions, and they cannot help but imitate their parents, following what their parents do as the standard for their own lives.

American psychologist Satya also argued: “”A person with a strong connection to their family can have a positive or negative impact on their future life.””

In the hearts of children, the family is a warm and cozy nest. Parents are the most solid support. A home, a family with parents who love each other, are optimistic and cheerful, is the best gift for their children.

If parents want to nurture an optimistic and confident child, they must first adjust their own psychology to be optimistic and positive in facing life.

During the process of educating children, many parents often lie to their children. They believe that in special cases, they are obliged to do so.

Parents lying to their children multiple times can make them lose trust in their parents and in life. Moreover, they may learn to lie to deceive others.

Only when parents keep their promises, can children trust them more. Parents set an example for their children, and their children will become people who keep their promises in life and in learning.

There is a saying, to educate children, it is best for parents never to stop learning.

The root cause of whether children are well-behaved or not lies in family education. Outstanding parents, with proper discipline, are a prerequisite for a child’s success. On the contrary, if parents demand their children to study diligently all day while they themselves only bow their heads to play with their phones, two things will happen. First, children will not have a good learning atmosphere. Second, they won’t have a role model to follow.

If parents enjoy learning, it will influence their children. No matter how busy the day is, spend the evening reading books with your children. This will also form a good habit for them.
