'I’m a therapist - here are three things parents should NEVER say to their kids'
go to their room and cryShe said giving a child this freedom to cry also makes it more likely that they’ll open up to you if there’s something deeper at the root of their sadness or upset.
Shannon gave the example of a who, when doing her homework, breaks her pencil twice and starts sobbing. It could be that in fact, she’s had a difficult day at school - perhaps another kid or teacher said something mean - and she’s had enough.Saying “it’s just a pencil, stop crying”, will make her more likely to internalise whatever real feelings are at the root of the problem, Shannon said.
“What you’re essentially saying is, ‘I need to change who I am to be good enough,’ and that’s what a child will hear about themselves,” Shannon said.
