You’re just like your  (a negative family  member)

Comparing children to relatives in a negative light can damage their self-esteem and create unnecessary pressure.

I wish you were more like (another child)!

Comparisons to other children can lead to feelings of inadequacy and diminish their sense of self-worth.

You’re such a disappointment

Harsh words like these can be emotionally damaging, affecting a child’s self-confidence and mental health.

You’ll never be  good enough

Statements that undermine a child’s capabilities can result in a lack of motivation and persistent self-doubt.

Stop crying, it’s not  a big deal

Dismissing a child’s emotions invalidates their feelings and can lead to emotional suppression and detachment.

You’re always  causing trouble

Labeling a child as a troublemaker can negatively impact their behavior and how they perceive themselves.

Why can’t you be more  like your sibling?

Constant comparisons with siblings can foster rivalry and deep-seated feelings of inadequacy.

I don’t have time for your problems

Ignoring or dismissing a child’s concerns makes them feel unimportant and unsupported.

You’re not smart  enough for that

Negative comments about a child’s intelligence can severely affect their academic confidence and interest in learning.
