5 Things Parents Are Doing Wrong Without Knowing It

It's not easy to be a parent but you need to be responsible for your children. They need you more than you think.

To have a kid and caring for him/her is not an easy task to do. Trying to understand their needs, what’s on their mind. Let’s face it, sometimes when taking care of your children, things can slip off your hands without you even noticing. You shouldn’t feel ashamed for it, in fact, it happens very often and there’s nothing wrong with it; you’re a human, you’re allowed to make mistakes. If you still don’t know what things you’re doing wrong, here are 5 things you might have overlooked:

  1. Don’t Assume, Ask: One of the things parents do is to generalize or assume things because “most of the children like doing this or that”. Remember, every kid is different, it’s important to ask first, things like: “Do you like this?” “Are you enjoying that?” Show him interest by paying attention to their likes and dislikes.
  2. Yelling: You have your temper, and sometimes you feel like losing it when your children don’t listen to your orders. But never, ever, yell to them. Raising your voice can put your children even more rebellious or they might even feel nervous or agitated. Always speak calmly, breath and think carefully before making a mistake.
  3. Not Speaking Up For Them: When surrounded by strangers, there might be people who won’t stand your child’s attitude. Some will even argue and talk about how your kid behaves strangely, and you decide not to speak and remain silent. Speak up for your child, explain them why your kid behaves that way.
  4. Leaving Them On Their Own: One thing is to trust your children, and a whole other thing is to let them loose on open places. Keep an eye on what your kids are doing at all times.
  5. Taking Them Somewhere Without Explanations: Always speak with your kid before going somewhere new or strange to him. They hate unknown places, it makes them feel uncomfortable. Explain where you are going and how it looks like, make it a game for him.

Don’t let little details like these slip from your hands, and if you’re going to follow this piece of advice is because you love your kid and you care. My recommendation would be that you call the people of Autism Soccer; this will help in the growth of your children and will make you feel a better parent for them.


All you do for them has to come from the heart; love them unconditionally.
