Sometimes adults are labeling children and we are not even aware of it, but the consequences and dangers of labeling children are really serious for their personality and personality development (and of course, for your self-esteem).

What are the labels that are put on children

The labels are undoubtedly a lack of respect towards the little ones que, that even though at that moment we do not want to offend them we are doing it, a lot. The labels consist of calling the children in some way for some behavior that we consider annoying or inadequate as for example, 'you are a heavy', 'you are a clumsy', 'you are a whiner' and a long etc.The labels on children will not change their attitude and the worst thing is that they will only make them feel limited and, in addition, underestimated. It is a way to pigeonhole the little ones and is that unfortunately they end up believing that 'they are heavy', 'awkward', 'weeping' and what you have labeled simply becomes reality, but because you have caused it by calling it because even if it is unconscious you send them the message that they will never be able to change for the better.

How to help improve the personality of the child

Of course you can help to improve the personality, but these negative labels will have to be left in the oblivion of your vocabulary to respect the children and avoid feeling belittled and even self-conscious.

You can help them by enhancing their positive qualities

instead of negative ones, in this way they can build a good and proper image of themselves. Also, if you congratulate him when he does something positive instead of when he does something negative, you will be positively reinforcing the appropriate behavior and it will be repeated in the future. In this way, the child will feel your trust, your support and will feel motivated and loved, something essential for its proper integral development. Remember that your opinion

as a mother or father will make a big mark on your personality and praising him in front of others is also a great way to promote good behaviors. Although you should not forget that if you want to promote good behaviors in your child, the first thing you will have to do is undoubtedly give them an example. Positive phrases to educate your child When your child does not behave properly instead of reminding him of what he does wrong or saying words like 'always' or 'never' it is better to tell him what to do, for example:

- Instead of saying 'never pick up your room, you're a mess', it's better to say something like: 'pick up your room, you'll make it great'. In this way the little one knows what is expected of him.

- Instead of saying 'you are a burden', it is better to say something like: 'When you want something, tell me once and I will listen to you'. En - Instead of saying: 'you are a crybaby', it is better to say something like: 'If you feel bad and you want to cry to feel better, nothing happens, but tell me what happens to you to find a solution'.
