A brief conversational excerpt from a YouTube parenting video where two speakers discuss how parents' offhand remarks—threats like 'I'll go to Nani's' or refusing to speak—and comparisons can create insecurity in children. The speakers explain that children absorb such words, leading to anxiety, clinginess, and fear that a parent may leave or disapprove.

Chapters

What are the key things to speak to a child? That shouldn't be the way for them to raise insecurity for a bit.
Sometimes, you know, if your child is not listening, then we'll say I'll not talk to you if you behave like this or I'm just going to go to Nani house. You're just saying it because you're irritated as a parent, but the child listens very carefully and they absorb everything that you're saying. So this leads to a lot of insecurity in them because they feel, am I doing the right thing? What if my mom leaves me? So it makes them very uncomfortable. And when they're insecure, they're actually very clingy because they're very scared that, okay, my mom might go or my mom might not come back or maybe have done something she didn't like. So this will definitely lead to a lot of insecurity. Then of course, you know, when we compare children.
