Toxic parenting can have a devastating impact on children’s growth and development, and it’s a cycle that can be difficult to break.

Toxic parents exhibit harmful behavior towards their children, such as neglect, abuse, or manipulation. The consequences of toxic parenting can be long-lasting and affect a child’s mental and emotional well-being. Parents must identify the signs of toxic parenting and take steps to break the cycle.

To avoid toxic parenting, it’s essential to recognize and acknowledge toxic behavior, set healthy boundaries and respect your child’s autonomy, practice open communication and active listening, work on your own emotional issues and triggers, and seek help from a professional if necessary.

Recognize and acknowledge toxic behavior: This process involves being aware of your own behavior and how it may impact your child. Pay attention to patterns of overprotectiveness, criticism, guilt-tripping, lack of boundaries, neglect, and gaslighting. Acknowledge when you make mistakes and take responsibility for your actions.

Set healthy boundaries and respect your child’s autonomy: This process involves respecting your child’s privacy and individuality, allowing them to make age-appropriate decisions, and not using them as emotional support or treating them as an extension of yourself. It also involves setting clear rules and consequences and enforcing them consistently.

Practice open communication and active listening: This process involves actively listening to your child’s concerns and feelings without judgment and responding with empathy and respect. It also includes being open and honest with your child about your own thoughts and feelings.

Work on your own emotional issues and triggers: This process involves identifying and addressing your own emotional issues, such as past trauma or unresolved conflicts, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor if necessary. It also means being aware of your own triggers and how they may impact your interactions with your child.

Seek help from a professional if necessary: If you are struggling to break toxic patterns or are experiencing significant emotional difficulties, you may benefit from seeking support from a mental health professional. A professional can provide guidance and support in developing healthier parenting strategies and addressing underlying emotional issues.

In conclusion, toxic parenting can have severe negative impacts on children, but such parenting can be avoided by recognizing harmful behavior, setting healthy boundaries, practicing open communication, working on emotional issues, and seeking professional help if necessary.

never talaga dapat mag dictate ang parents, makikipag debate lang ako sa anak ko and will let his mistakes do the beating

Speaking on beating, yung mga bata na lumaki sa kamay na bakal, sometimes they have the tendency to reverse everything when the threat beating is gone. In a sense, the parents made a worse citizen. Yung tipong walang mali-mali as long as hindi nahuhuli.

It is okay to express your emotion to your children as kids, pero mas marami sa generation na nauna satin, they use the idea of "discipline" as a disguise just to express spite and retaliation. Both of these are not good in terms of parenting or any relationship.
