I have now been a parent for 17.5 years, raising two daughters that are 5 years apart.

Here are a few parenting practices that could be detrimental to raising happy kids:

  • yo-yoing between authoritarian and permissive parenting
  • excessive criticism, however big the issue
  • neglecting the child’s emotional needs
  • being emotionally unavailable
  • being overprotective
  • comparing siblings

What would you add to the list?

That’s all for today.

Adios and Happy Parenting
