#3 Judgmental behavior about children


Listen Later

Children normally learn manners from their parents. At times, even though the parents have taught very good manners and always behaved very well with the child and people around them, the child may sometimes behave in a not so appropriate way as customary. Here we see a parent forcing the child to talk to a relative even though he is not interested to.

In some families teenagers are treated like small children. Parents don’t outgrow their commanding tone. Once a child reaches their later adolescent years, parents must adapt themselves to grow with the child and learn to converse with them as adults. Sometimes, children these ages, are very moody and would start talking when the questions are more open ended and not close ended with the intent to understand them and not just to elicit one word answers.


Relatives and neighbours normally have a scrutinizing and judging attitude. Children in their teenage years are very sensitive to this and even the slightest change in the tone or behaviour of the person they are talking to makes them conscious of this and they prefer to stay away from such people. But due to the insistence from parents, children normally listen to their parents though grudgingly as seen in the above episode.
