Before reading down the list, I tried to guess what parenting mistakes could have made the list of ten. I figured if I could name a few then perhaps I had been remotely successful, if even only subconsciously, in avoiding them. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I guessed 5 of the top ten. Actions which all make sense if you stop long enough to think about it.
Children thrive on consistency.
That's why they watch the same videos over and over again. They like the predictability because they know what is expected of them and they know just how much of it they can achieve by themselves. There is no consistent cause and effect in this situation. I remember reading a T. Berry Brazelton book that referred to empty threats as being one of the worst ways to discipline your child and this list confirmed it. Again, all behaviors that make total sense when applied to discipline.
