I remember the first time I realized my parents lied to me. It was after a little game. I made a mistake and lost the game. I was sad, but my mom told me I was the best player on the team. I knew it was untrue and it made me feel worse.
Most parents lie to their kids. And most of these lies are innocent(无辜的) enough (They really do think their children are wonderful). However, there are lies that parents tell their kids that are not innocent. In fact, they can be dangerous. Here are 3 big lies we need to stop telling.
1. “You deserve(值得) the best _______.”
When we tell our kids “You deserve the best ______,” we suggest that when they face disappointment or hardship, the problem is in other people or the situation itself. But parents should know it’s much more important that our children become the kind of people who can “make the best” out of a less-than-perfect situation, rather than the kind who think they deserve the best.
2. “You can be anything you want to be.”
Most kids won’t grow up to be in the NBA or write a best seller. That’s just facts. The most important thing they can do is to discover who they are and how they’ve been gifted and then learn how to be the best version of themselves.
3. “What other people say shouldn’t upset you.”
It’s normal to be bothered by some of the things people say to you. In fact, many of us walk around with the scars(伤痕) of words said carelessly. We need to teach our kids the power of words and make them use their words well.
