We all need to seriously stop lying to our kids
When your child runs up to you super excited about something that in reality, isn’t that exciting or impressive, why do adults pretend to be all excited and impressed. Do the things that your little kids do genuinely impress or surprise you? I’m talking about really young children when they run up to you and do something Very simple such as jumping or standing on one leg for not even a few seconds, then looking at you as if that was really really impressive. you know, those activities were inside you are like “OK, you can balance on one leg for not even half a second, kid.
Why do adults lie to little kids and toddlers? Why do parents act like their little kid or toddler is incredibly strong and put up a really good fight against the adult while play fighting? This isn’t just with toddlers, they also do this with seven or eight—year-olds, they will even complement their child on this and see things like “ that bad guy doesn’t stand a chance”. why are they lying to their kid? Are they actually strong? if an adult was actually putting in 100% effort and it was a fight how good of a chance does the child have? Would they take them? Or is the kid out of the fight before it even started? I have noticed this with any activity really, whether that be a race, a game of basketball or soccer, or roughhousing, etc. “wow, your so fast I can’t keep up”.”you kick the ball so far” Etc. Why do adults lie to toddlers this way?
I’m talking about little kids like in lower elementary school or preschool, Do you play fight or rough house with your kids? Would they put up a good fight? Do you play basketball? Or have a race, would they do good?
Do your children’s “look mommy, look mommy” activity/Braggs genuinely impressed/surprise you? Why do you pretend to be excited or impressedif so, can you give some examples?
