I do not know what happened. One day we were great and the next day they turned into a teenager and started ignoring me. If you can resonate with any of those comments, you’re not alone. These are common things I hear my clients say. Parents, all over have their hearts broken because they feel the closeness, they once had with their child get further and further away. Well, today we are going to talk about how to reconnect with your son or daughter to build a stronger bond. Hello. My name is Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent.

Use a sticky not on their car steering wheel. Text them your message. Have a relative call your child to say hello and relay your message for you. Be creative with your communication. If you find that you are always saying NO to your child’s requests, try coupling your no with a yes. What I mean is, for every no you give your child, give them a yes answer too.

Today we are going to talk about 12 ways that parents unintentionally destroy their child's self-esteem. Hello. My name is Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent. I help parents of school aged children turn their chaos into connection with their adolescence. I am a mom of four kids, a teacher that has taught every grade from pre-school to high school, and today I help moms and dads, like yourself, to navigate the exhausting, confusing, frustrating, and rewarding world of parenting. WELCOME TO THE IMPACTFUL PARENT! Let’s get started. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #1: Overprotection. When parents do everything for their child, they may unknowingly send the message that the child is not capable of tackling tasks independently. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #2: Not allowing kids to make decisions. Making all the decisions for the child can undermine their sense of autonomy and make them feel like their opinions and choices do not matter. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #3: Neglect When parents fail to provide emotional support, validation, and attention, children may internalize the belief that they are not important or worthy of love. This lack of emotional connection can significantly impact their self-esteem and overall well-being. Also, don’t forget about micro-neglect. This is a term I use to describe when a parent pays “half-ass” attention to their child. For example, the parent shows with their body language or words that they are not interested in what the child is saying. Or the parent intentionally withholds affection from their child because they were “bad.” Sometimes micro-neglect comes out when a parent ignores a child because they are too busy with work or other adult obligations. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #4: Trying to Make Them Happy All the Time I call this the “everyone gets a ribbon” problem. Many children do not know how to take loss anymore due to society giving everyone a prize and not allowing the child to experience defeat. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #5: Never apologizing. This makes the child feel less and unimportant. Over time, a child can feel unworthy of an apology. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #6: Rushing to help too soon. This sends the message to the child that they are not capable of doing the activity without help. It inadvertently tells kids that “I don’t believe you can accomplish this task.” How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #7: Comparison. Comparing a child to their siblings, peers, or other children can be damaging to their self-esteem. When parents constantly compare their child to others,...
