parents

  When speaking with small children, parents and elders in the family should be cautious. Criticizing them at an early age may have a negative impact on them. They’ll start thinking about your criticism instead of themselves, and they’ll want to change. Adults should refrain from “simply tormenting children.” It’s important to remember that adolescents don’t respond to criticism the same way adults do. When you give a child negative criticism, an adult may be able to accept his or her mistake and laugh it off, but children lack the vision required to do so. Children are kind and do not have the maturity to absorb criticism in the same manner that adults do.
