Riddhi Deorah identifies five parenting behaviors to avoid: shouting about homework, hitting, negative remarks, correcting kids mid-story, and forcing them to perform in front of others. Each damages confidence, self-esteem, or willingness to speak.

Never do these 5 things with your child. First, please don't shout at your child if they are not finishing their homework. This is going to distance you both from your child and from the task. Second, please don't hit your child no matter how angry and irritated you are. Your child deserves a better treatment. Third, please don't say anything negative about your child either to them or to others in their presence. These comments can harm your child's self-esteem. Fourth, please don't correct your child while they're sharing something with you. If you lecture and correct them during these moments, they may stop expressing themselves to you. And fifth, please don't force your child to speak to others or perform in front of relatives if they don't wish to. Give them time and they'll get ready and when they are more comfortable. Avoiding these 5 actions can help you raise a more confident, independent, and disciplined child. Save this as a reminder and share this with someone who may need it.
