RE: Psychology Addict # 59 | Discussing Modern Caregiving.
But, what modern parents and caregivers don’t seem to be aware of is that these sort of praises don’t necessarily build self-confidence or boost academic performance.
Also this attitude makes everything more difficult for both the kid and everyone related to it's environment. As my both parent are teachers and i have been many times in their schools, i have witnessed first handed cases like that.
Just imagine parents harassing the teachers because their kid is supposed to be an Einstein and there is no chance to fail a test. Somebody else has to take the blame. Also, the kids can't understand and accept when they are wrong and that's natural as they never listened to the No word.
This is mostly happen in younger ages and later on these kids grow up having a lot of problems or creating a lot of problems. That of course isn't the rule, there are exceptions. The parents need to understand that following this logic they only bring harm both to their beloved children and society.
Oh my Gosh! Look who is here :D So nice to see you around @filotasriza3 !
Of course, I do appreciate how complex it must be for educators like your parents. But, I have never taken to time to see this whole scenario from their perspective :
How tricky this must be to deal with!😕
Thank you for taking the time to discuss this here. It's yet another very relevant angle to address this issue from. Like you said, there are exceptions indeed. But from where I stand, they seem to be less and less. I just have concerns about the kind of society this "phenomenon" might create :/
Thank you my dear for stopping by and writing one of you (always) insightful comments :)
