Image source: Lyeta1_1, Tanaphong Toochinda Thinking that small children are just selfish tiny adults. Your kid isn’t asking for stuff because they are selfish (mostly-we’re excluding their occasional manipulative tendenices). They are doing it because they are 5. Don’t be a d**k to your kid because they are asking for support/help/food.

People freaking out at their children for making a small mistake. Extra points if it was a totally genuine mistake like accident breaking a glass. Image source: Interesting-Gap1013
#3
Image source: elizabethhill82, Jordan Whitt Parents who can’t apologize to a child. It’s ok to have human emotions and moment to be triggered or struggling and lash out or be wrong but for the love of all things good APOLOGIZE AND CHANGE.

“Do this and that” “Why?” “Because I say so” If you don’t explain your kids the why of doing things then you treat them like little servants and they grow up either submissive or rebel but never good. Image source: Coolgames80

Image source: vpsj, cottonbro studio Remember: The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference. If you see kids being neglected, or ignored, or not cared about at all, that’s a good indication that their parent/s aren’t good

Image source: Dependent_Noise_6249, Meruyert Gonullu your own children being afraid of you, no child should be afraid of the person that looks after them nearly 24/7.
#7
Image source: Onlyfansnanny, Sai De Silva The infantilization of their children. Wanting them to stay helpless babies forever because they don’t want them to grow up. I’m a nanny and it seems like a growing trend. It’s one thing to engage is some infantile behavior or spoil your children a little. It’s another thing to bend to every whim and not make your kids uncomfortable. Example with some kids I’m currently dealing with, NOT POTTY TRAINING THEM.

Forcing your kids to do sports. I’d argue wrestlers were the worst as a lot of parents would deride their kids for daring to eat while forcing them into practice sessions that’d result in excessive vomiting, lacerations and cauliflower ear, even when the coaches voiced concerns the students were putting in too much. In any case, it was often clear the parents were just trying to relive their glory high school years, vicariously through their own children. Same thing happens with football and other sports, but I’d argue they’re not quite as physically abusive. Image source: domino2064

Image source: 50637, Yaroslav Shuraev idk if this really screams it, but i absolutely hate when adults tell other adults their children’s shameful secrets for no reason. even strangers! it tells me those children probably don’t feel like they can trust their parents.

Image source: Acetamnophen, Pixabay Invalidating your child’s feelings, struggles, and/or mental illness in favor of “you don’t know what struggling really is” or some form of “back in my day” or “you kids are so weak”. You have just robbed your child of support, told them their feelings do not matter, and informed them that you are not a safe person to confide in.
