As we all know, children are the leaders of tomorrow, it depends on how we train our children, this is what will determine whether if truly they will become the leaders of tomorrow because some of them would end up becoming a liability to their parents. For a child to become an asset in the future, 80% of responsibilities depending on his parents. Most times, as a student, the bad statements of their parents towards them, and also some bad words from their parents discourage them, and to some extent can lead to dropping out from school.

Some parents are fund of spilling out un encourageable statements to their children in line with their academics, this has drastically reduced the morale of some students, while these statements can lead to an unhealthy competition between two students, of which jealousy becomes the order of the day. Below are three statements parents should never say to their children who are still students.

1. "You are a Dollard"

This has been a major problem student have been passing through, they get discouraged in school by what their teachers and fellow students have said to them, they will come back home, expecting kind, consoling words from their parents, rather they will end up getting the worst statements from their parents. Some parents would say to them, "you are always dull, you are a dullard" statements like this kills the vibe and morale of any student, rather they will act by what their par parents say that they are. It's high time parents learned how to use sweet words on their children even when he or she got it all wrong, words like, "you are very smart and intelligent" etc.

2. "Why can't you do better than your friend?"



We all know that competition between human beings as being the order of the day, but one thing parents should never say to their children is to compare them with their friends, some parents would spend the whole day comparing other students with their child, only because those students made nice results compared to their child. This act is discouraging because every student isn't the same, some students understand easily, while others don't understand easily while reading, the only thing parents should do is to profer a solution to this problem. Parents should use statements like "You are the best of your kind", " Your only competitor is yourself". This will help a student to build himself and not to discourage him.

3. "You are a failure"

That your child has performed badly in his or her academics does not give you the effrontery to say to his or her face that he or she is a failure, this statement is one of the most irritating and discouraging statements parents should never say to their children. Even the Bible states that there is power in spoken words, as a father or mother, you must proclaim good things upon your children and not the other way round because of his poor performance then. These are statements you can use in place of this aforementioned statement, "Dear child, you can do better than this", "you are a conqueror", " you aren't a failure".
