When people are too emotional, they don’t notice that they use offensive words. Sensitive children may have problems with low self-esteem and they may remember the times when their father or mother used a bad word. It is important to be careful with words and use only a neutral vocabulary.

#4 When unsure who is guilty, punish everyone

If you are not sure which child is guilty, punish all of them. Because if you don’t, the child you punished will be damaged. When your child is with a friend, do not criticize other children at all.

#5 A child shouldn’t be punished if they didn’t have bad intentions

Most of the time, children just want to discover things. This is a part of their learning process and they should be supported. If their actions led to something bad, sympathize with them and teach them how to fix the situation.

#6 If you threatened to punish, do it

A threat that is only promised is worse than no punishment at all. Children are smart to realize that parents only say words and they eventually stop trusting them. Thus, their system of values becomes damaged as they can’t differentiate the good from the bad.

#7 Orders and suggestions are different things

If a child is sensitive and they get punished for going against your suggestion, it can hurt them. In their adult life, it could make them want to follow other people’s orders because they are scared of negative consequences.
