What, in your opinion, is the worst thing a parent can do to his/her child?
(Be sure to include your first name and first initial of your last name to the post.)
The worst thing a parent can do to a child is to not love them. The child will possibly grow up having a hard time loving himself and other people. If a child is brought up in a non-loving environment, ther're probably gonna be all F****d up.

Nadiya....the worst thing a parents can do to a child is to never say i love you to him/her. Those words seem so simple, but yet so hard to say for some adults. I child needs to know that he/she is loved not only by giving or doing things for them, but also by telling the child that he/she is loved!!!That is all a baby knows when it is first born, pure LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteHa' everybody has talking about love... and it is true if parents don't love it is difficult for kids to be happy in their life.. But I would say if the parents don't let the kids rich their goals or dreams... I had have a lot of them and i have been riching them little by little and to see my parents being next to me even that they live far form me.... They make me happy, then i can make them happy too....

In my opinion the worst thing a parent can do to a child is to NOT recognize him/her. I don't think any child would like to grow up without a parent(s). You made a choice to have a child, and even if you didn't expected it or didn't planned to have one is to late now , the child is here and needs your love and support. If you don't recognize that baby and you don't help him/her growth up to be someone in life, you the parent(s) are F****d up in the head BIG TIME. The baby needs you more than anything and you better be ready. If you think your not capable of handling the situation, get help you have nine months and that is more than enough to learn and make your child succeed in life.

i think the worst thing that someone can do to their child is to not love them and share time with them. i say love because everyone wants to be loved.then i say attention and spending time because children need someone to guide them in the right direction....Solange Murphy
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing a parent could do to his/her child is to give up on them. If a parent gives up on their own child then what motivation would one have to change their lives around if their own parents don't see it happening. A parent should motivate their child to strive for success no matter how down they may be. -Bobby Letizia
ReplyDeleteI think that the worst thing a parent can do to his/her child is to abandon them.

The worst thing I think a parent could do to a child is to let them do what they want. That might sound crazy because that is every childs dream but in reality its every childs nightmare. When parents let them do what they please, the child will have no respect for others and themselves because the child wont know whats exspected of him or her and there will be no stability in life. Also making it hard for them to understand life and make it through lifes obstacles. -Victor Wilson
ReplyDeleteThere are many things a parent can do to their child. One of the worst things they can do (in my opinion) is start their day telling their child negative thoughts/feelings about him or her. This in the future, will lower the self-esteem of the child and they will feel as though society feels the same towards them. They will begin to neglect themselves from other peers and soon believe what their parents say to them are true. Through this, the feelings of love, respect, and comfort will be lost between the individual and the parent.

The worse thing a parent can do is place their spouse over their child. They always take up for their spouse even when they are wrong and totally foget their child exist and the meaning of parenthood

The worst thing a parent can do is not parent their child. When you parent a child it shows how much you love them and at the same time they're not being neglected or uncared for. Having self-centered parents can be the worst, because they never become involved in the childs life, therefore the child does not have self worth and does not become involved in their own lives. They may even remain angry, bitter, depressed and so on...through out their entire adult lives if not shown appreciation and true self worth as a child.

There are a number of things a parent can do to a child that would be considered horrible or very bad. In my opinion the worst thing a parent can do to a child is not be there for him/her physically. For example, a parent that leaves or abandons a child. The next worst thing a parent can do is be there physically but not mentally for all the positive guidance a child needs throughout their years of adolescence. Children need to be nurtured and taught morals and ethics from a very young age. Unfortunately in today's world it is becoming more common for parents to be there for the child just in the physical sense, not attentive and concerned for their needs as learning and growing individuals.

In my opinion, the worst thing a parent can do is neglect their child. A child needs the same thing ever other person in the world need but being a child it is nearly impossible for them to gain access to food, water, shelter by themselves. They need an adult to care for them and get the necessities they need in order to grow. However, as a child gets older, some parents think that they can just give their child the basics and everything will be fine. I know of one child, who is autistic, who’s parent is not helping in getting the proper schooling for the child. This child is hostile to other children and needs to be in an environment where a teacher is specialized in what this child needs. However, her neglectful parent waited to long to do the work that was needed and now the child has a confusing schedule in which she goes to school for an hour in the morning, has a bus pick her up to go to a special school for about four hours, and then returns on the bus to the first school for an additional five hours instead of going to the special school for the entire day. This would be confusing for anyone. Imagine doing this at three years old…

Besides love and neglect I think the worst thing a parent can do to his/her child is put it on a leash. I mean the children are not dogs and I'm coming from personal experience, my mother used to put me on a leash until she felt bad for me. If your going to have a kid you should watch them not give them a limited distance to which they can roam. especially for curious children that will run away...Just watch your child!

the worst thing a parent could do is ignore or give little attention to there children.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing a parent can do to a child is to deny them the basic needs of humanity. For example, food, clothing and shelter. Without these things, a child`s chances of survival is zero out of hundred.

In my opinion the worst thing a parent can do to his /her child is to give up to his /her education. A parent should control his/ her child.

In my opinion, the worst thing a parent can do to a child is to not support them. When you're little, and even as you grow up, whether or not you would like to admit it, your parents' approval is more important than anyone else's. Although at times my parents aggravate me, I still recognize the fact that they stand by me no matter what, and for that I am so grateful. I believe that I gained a sense of confidence from this support. If parents do not support their children, how will their child gain this self-assuredness?
