In today's society, many parents believe that their child's starting line is the key to their future success.
However, in reality, it is not the children who lose at the starting line, but the parents.
This point of view will be elaborated on in five ways below:
1. Excessive focus on academic performance.
In homeschooling, many parents regard their children's academic performance as the only measure of their worth, ignoring their interests, hobbies, and personality development.
This practice can lead to a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem in the child's growth, and psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, which can affect their academic performance and future development.
Second, there is a lack of scientific education methods.
Many parents often adopt simple and brutal methods when educating their children, such as corporal punishment, blame, suppression, etc.
These parenting methods not only hurt children's self-esteem and confidence, but also affect their interpersonal relationships and mental health.
3. Failure to teach by word and deed.
Many parents do not give full play to the role of role models in family education.
For example, some parents often lie and fail to keep their promises while teaching their children to be honest and trustworthy.
Such behavior will have a negative impact on the child, allowing the child to form bad behavior habits and values.
Fourth, a good parent-child relationship has not been established.
Many parents tend to only focus on their children's academic performance and living situation, ignoring the emotional communication and interaction with their children.
This practice can lead to a child's lack of emotional support and security, affecting their mental health and interpersonal skills.
Parents need to understand their children's thoughts and feelings, and support their interests and hobbies, so as to enhance family cohesion and intimacy.
5. Lack of care and companionship.
Some parents neglect their children's growth needs due to work or other reasons, resulting in a lack of necessary care and companionship in their growth.
However, children can only grow better if they have enough love and companionship.
Therefore, parents should spend as much time as possible with their children, pay attention to their developmental needs, and build a close relationship with them.
