In my opinion, parents and elders in families should be very careful about what they say around children because it can affect the child. Basically, adults’ words can tear them down, hurt their feelings and steal their joy. No matter what, parents should be nice to their kids and explain everything to them kindly. Parents’ words build up the kids in the future, kids are very sensitive to criticism and have to be treated gently from a young age. Dealing with children is easy when adults know kids have less experience in life and they view the world differently. Words like “just teasin” can make them feel weak and insecure about themselves.

I agree with my peer that parents and elders should avoid “just teasing kids” because children do not react to criticism like adults do. Unlike adults, children are still developing and can barely take criticism as adults do. We share a similar view that children deserve to be informed of the truth to build their self-esteem.
Hi, I agree with your opinion. It is true that “just teasin” will make a kid feel unsecured. If a kid suffer a bad experience of their childhood, they have to spent their a lot of time to heal themselves.
I completely agree with you, I think parents’ interaction with kids is best when they realize that the child has feelings too. The same way an adult doesn’t want to feel weak or be lied to, that’s the same way children don’t want that either.
I totally agree with you, words can definitely talk nicely to children, especially since their sensitive.
