I can't believe you did that. What an idiot. These are examples of verbal criticism.
Criticism is incredibly damaging to our children to our children.
Criticism hurts children in profound psychological ways. Unfortunately, many parents are not aware of the intense damage they do when they humiliate, put down, judge, belittle, ridicule, or criticize their children. Their intentions, although misguided, are for the best to motivate their children into doing better. Criticism actually squashes any feelings children have of trying something new, and results in them feeling alienated from their parents. Criticized children end up feeling angry, worthless, unloved and undeserving, and their self-esteem drops.
