Imagine, you are out somewhere with your child. Suddenly your child makes a mistake - maybe he has done something naughty, or dropped something. In such a situation, without thinking, you start scolding him in front of everyone. You tried to correct him from your side, but do you know how deep and negative impact this small attempt of "correction" can have on your child's mind?

Yes, no matter how big the mistake is, scolding children in front of others can give them such wounds for life, which are difficult to compensate. Let's know its 5 disadvantages.

Lack of confidence

When you scold the child in front of others, he feels very embarrassed. He feels that he has done something very bad and now everyone will misunderstand him. This feeling gradually weakens his confidence and can create a feeling of inferiority in him. In the future, he will think 10 times before doing any new work, because he will be afraid of getting scolded or insulted in front of others.

Problem of irritability
Constantly getting scolded in front of others can develop a feeling of rebellion in the child's mind. He starts thinking that "no matter how well I do, I still get scolded." In such a situation, he may stop listening to you and become stubborn or irritable. Some children even deliberately start repeating the same mistakes so that they can show their anger.

Keeping distance from you and hiding things.
If the child is repeatedly scolded in front of others, he starts feeling that you do not understand him and he feels insecure in front of you. In such a situation, he starts keeping his distance from you and avoids sharing his thoughts or problems with you. He is afraid that if he tells anything, he will be scolded again. This weakens the strong relationship between parent and child.

Avoiding social interactions
Being scolded in front of others makes the child avoid social situations. He feels that people will make fun of him or judge him. He may start avoiding parties, school activities, or playing with friends. This is not good for his social development and can make him feel lonely.

Anger and jealousy towards others
When the child feels that he has been humiliated in front of others, he may feel angry or jealous towards those in front of whom he has been scolded. This feeling can affect his relationships in the future. He may distance himself from people or have a negative attitude towards them.

What to do if you do not scold?
It is important to explain to the child when he makes a mistake, but choosing the right time and place is even more important. Always explain to the child in private, give him a chance to correct his mistake, and tell him that you love him, even if you do not like his mistake. By doing this, your child will feel safe and his relationship with you will become even stronger.
