Here’s Why You Should Stop Comparing Your Child with Others

Comparing two children is a very prevalent practice to bolster the performance of a child. Parents often do this to better the skills and learning of their kids. Although every parent wants the best for their child, unconsciously you are doing your child more harm than good.

An undue comparison can put pressure on your child. For example, if your son or daughter has enrolled for medical coaching, he or she will have to put in a lot of hard work and dedication. They will need a free and complacent mind to perform well. Putting excessive pressure can prove to be counter-productive and effect their performance. Therefore, if you are a pushy parent, below are some very valid and strong reasons that you should give up on the comparison game soon-

#Learning Capacity of Every Child is Different

Modern pedagogical methods are also about self-paced learning. Over the years, educators and experts have understood that every child has a different pace of learning. One bill fits all approach to education does not work anymore. This is the primary reasons why platforms like Aakash iTutor has been developed. The platform fosters self-paced learning. Children want to look for coaching for medicine, or any other entrance exam can benefit immensely.

All the video lectures are pre-recorded, and every child can play the videos as per their convenience and understanding. Parents must understand that the strength and weakness of every child vary and therefore, comparison metric is just not logical.

#Your Child can Suffer from Low-Self Esteem

This point is closely linked to the above. When you compare the performance of your child with others, they might not discover their strength. As a result, he or she may suffer from low self-esteem. However, this is far from the truth. Every child has a unique talent, and as a parent, you should be sharp enough to pick it up at an early stage.

Let your child identify his or her talent so that they can bloom in that field.

#Children may act Awkward in social Situation

The comparison can also lead to self-doubt. As a result, your child may hesitate to talk or even not express his or her true feelings. Some kids also find difficult to make friends with peers for fear of being judged. Repressed emotions in adolescent children can lead to severe consequences. Teenage depression is a pervasive and prevalent psychological problem.

The mind of a young adolescent is very impressionistic. A word of discouragement of slander can impact them in a big way. They may feel socially alienated. Therefore, for the sake of the physiological development and personality of your child, its best to stop comparing.

#Makes Children Distant From their Parents

If you are a strict parent, who judges the performance of your child every step of the way, over time your child will become distance from you. Also, in case he or she is facing any insecurity or threat, they may even hesitate to share it with you.

A child can suffer or face with a range of emotional problems. It could be related to school, peers, siblings, physical shortcomings and so-on and forth. If you want your child to excel, it is important that you can identify and address his or her insecurity. However, if you a hard task master, your child may fear judgment and will therefore not share his or her problems.

The secret of shaping a successful future for your child is paying attention to his need. Even physiology, the frontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls motivation, productivity and engagement develops at a later of the stage of the brain. Therefore, even if your child had been a mediocre performer, he or she will eventually succeed as a child.

Even Science backs that parents should take easy on their children and let theme evolve as a human being, rather than focusing on performance at academic or engaging in comparison.
