Togzhanova Moldir. Mistakes Parents Don’t Realize They Make. The mistakes parents consider “right” when it comes to raising children

Today we live in a time when, for some parents, a child has turned into something like their personal property. Parents want to raise a “convenient” child — one who fits their expectations, is easy to manage, and behaves the way they want. But in reality, a child is an independent individual, a human created by God just like us — and we often forget that.

Thus, when we praise the child, when we get upset, when the child cries or laughs, when they grow into a confident person, we tend to forget that we are directly responsible for all of it. As a result, many mistakes slip unnoticed into our family life — in the way we communicate, speak, and interact with our children.

Statements like “boys don’t cry,” “a naughty child is not intelligent,” “the more you spoil a child, the worse they become,” “my child must be the best,” or “boys take after the mother’s side, girls take after the father’s side,” and many other similar beliefs appear in our everyday life.

At such moments, we sincerely hope that this booklet will serve as a valuable tool for you.
