Parenting Habits That Could Keep Children From Succeeding In Life

Parenting Habits That Could Keep Children From Succeeding In Life

Raising children requires good parenting techniques as well as avoiding bad habits. A positive body image help children develop socially. Quality time with kids also helps them in school. But just as important are avoiding mistakes that can curtail a child’s social, physical, emotional and intellectual development. The following is a transcript of this video.

Parents of unsuccessful kids could have these 6 things in common.

They’re authoritarian. Authoritarian parents discourage open communication. They make demands without explaining why. One study showed, when these parents checked children’s homework it inhibited the child’s overall school performance.

Parents who let kids watch TV when they’re really young. Researchers said children who watched more TV were less likely to participate in class and had lower math scores.

Parents who yell at their kids a lot. Shouting, cursing and insults can have the same negative effects as physical discipline.

They’re helicopter parents. Over-controlling parents have been linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression in children. Researchers found these children were less open to new ideas and more self-conscious.

Parents who are emotionally distant. This can contribute to: behavioral problems, insecurity, and emotional difficulties.

Parents who spank their kids. First graders who already had behavioral problems were even more disruptive if their parents spanked them. Spanking has also been linked to mental health problems and cognitive difficulties.

    Theres a difference between spanking (Which my parents called a "whoopin") and a beating. Spanking a kid will help alot if the cause was spank worthy. A beating is abuse where it’s unwarranted and that crosses the line. You need to know there’s consequences for actions. And they get worse when the action gets worse.

    Some kids have their ears on their backs, some would say. IMHO spanking is only for those times that they become uncontrollable. Otherwise, it would probably be better if they understand why what they did was wrong.

    no wonder why my life is a piece of shit

  • Darrell Lim

    Studies have shown that parents who murder their children have children who are less likely to succeed. This can be attributed to the fact that those children were murdered.

    I don’t believe tv have an effect in children’s performance in school. At an very young age, I love watching television but I excelled in math and science. Now I’m studying engineering.

  • Ser Gio

Ill still go out and do the same shit if i want to. But when she gives me that talk, thats what gets a nigga up at night rethinking his life and moves 😂💯

  • Sudarsan Narayanan

    How do you stop your child from watching TV without being authoritarian ?

  • Jonathan Cookingham

    I don’t see a problem with spanking, sometimes you need an instant punishment to let the kid know what he/she was wrong. What else are you supposed to do to a toddler, ground them?

  • trash can

    My parents do all of these things don’t let me go outside at all or have friends

  • David Danon

    This has been problems since the beginning of time

  • chesiregirl

    My parents were strict, authoritarian parents who beat me and my siblings. How do you think we turned out?
    My older brother is in his early 30s and is single, living at home, and works at a distribution center for a grocery store.
    My older sister is working as a glorified bookkeeper, living in a small, messy apartment with her deadbeat boyfriend.
    I’m the "successful" one. I’m in my final year of college to be a high school teacher. The only reason I’m the "successful" one is because I have a career plan, no shitty boyfriend, and actually want to move out (to get away from my shitty parents).
    So, tell me, does authoritarian parenting work? Because it didn’t work for us.

    Number 2 absolute rubbish

  • Julio Acceus

    My parents are like this. While I turned out okay, I will not raise my kids this way. Just cause it works, doesn’t mean your kid will turn out great as an adult.

  • JetStream195

    I don’t see how checking homework is the same as being authoritarian. If anything, it shows your child you want to be involve in the things they do especially something as important as school. And nothing is wrong with watching T.V. it’s how, when, and what programs they watch that matters. And there needs to be some kind of discipline, not sure if spanking and yelling helps reinforce it thought.

    Bull fucking shit. Succeed can mean anytime from having a huge family or earning a million dollar salary or being peaceful and content with a min wage job or anything. Success is as subjective as peoples favorite color. Parenting also varies according to culture, social and economic class, political environment, education level and so on. Stop trying to shape your destiny. You cant. Just live. Whatever happen happen. Smile.

    Does the phone and tablet count as tv???

  • CezDmX

    This is basically every parent from Asia… Those people are fucken crazy about raising their kids. I guess that’s why Japan has a ridiculous number of virgins and stay at home deadbeats… They were never able to develope properly and depend solely on their parents. I worked in Japan for 3 years and it is amazing how many guys stay at home in their late 30’s and even 40’s without ever having a relationship. They get room service and everything done for them at such an old age. It’s really disturbing, not to mention some kids sleep with their parents till they are well into their teens.

  • Andrew Anane

    No wonder I’m bad at math. Spanking? It was the teachers job

  • Johnmichael Zayas

    The only thing having an authoritarian parent or being spanked taught me when I was younger, was to not get caught so easily.

  • Felicia Moniq

    It goes back to the intention and the heart that the parents performed the discipline in. We need to be realize that spanking can be done in a loving manner or in an abusive manner. But there is something about breaking the spirit of a child and parents who are detached. I think this is the root of many evils in our society.

  • Mesam Zahid

    Explains why I am so fucked.

  • silentdesires _

    BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WATCHED TV SINCE I WAS 3YR OLD AND I HAVE STRAIGHT A’s IN MATH, SO UN TRUE. BUT I THINK THAT WATCHING TV CAN HARM OHTER SUBJECTS THAT THE CHILD DOESNT LIKE READING BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • Alan Rodriguez

    Agree with everything except for the spanking

  • Jeffrey Li

    I’ll have you know that I identify as an Apache helicopter parent and I find it rude that you did not mention my gender.

  • Don Chello

    My parents did all of this and sometimes I feel genocidal

  • Tahmeed Mazumder

    Wow it just explained south Asian parenting in 5 minutes. Every kid in South Asia goes through all of that in childhood. But I believe that it’s a good thing. Because once he gets past all that negative things and still have a more broader and matured outlook in life….. That kids golden. It’s like they’re rough diamonds in the making. You endure that shit and still be positive than you my friend are a force to be reckoned with.

  • paulson thomas

    Disciple the kids to be submissive, once they start obeying you after grade 5 they will keep obeying so u can stop beating the shit out of kids

  • Rhinopocalypes

    If a kid gets brain issues from being spanked then that kid is a puss
