There’s no doubt about it: raising kids is hard. It’s easy to get stressed out and angry, which can lead to some bad ways of raising kids. Here are some bad ways to raise children.

Your child is not just what they do. We all have bad days, but imagine if you lost your temper with your child, and from then on, your child only thought of you as “angry” mom or dad. The same is true for your children. Dr. Bernstein said, “When parents don’t have time to take a breath and think, they may sometimes see their children in a global way.” Because of this, parents can lock their children into a bad identity by giving them negative labels like “lazy,” “problematic,” “selfish,” and “inconsiderate.”” Focus on solutions, not labels.

Maybe you get along better with one sibling or have more in common with them, but putting kids against each other is harmful, especially if you think it will make them behave differently. “Instead, you should celebrate each child’s uniqueness,” says Dr. Greenberg. “Comparing kids hurts their self-esteem and doesn’t motivate them.”
