“Never Tell These to Your Children”
(Even if you’re angry, tired, or frustrated)
1. “Wala kang kwenta.”
– It destroys their confidence and sense of worth.
2. “Bakit hindi ka katulad ng kapatid mo?”
– Comparison creates jealousy, resentment, and insecurity.
3. “Dapat hindi na kita pinanganak.”
– One of the most painful things a child could hear.
4. “Ang t*ng* mo talaga.”
– Labels stick. They’ll start believing it.
5. “Hayaan mo na, wala kang alam.”
– This silences them. Later in life, they won’t speak up.
6. “Ako ang magulang dito, kaya ako ang tama.”
– It teaches fear, not respect. Open communication is better.
7. “Tumigil ka nga, nakakahiya ka.”
– Public shaming causes deep emotional scars.
8. “Sige, iwan na lang kita.”
– It builds fear of abandonment and trust issues.
9. “Ang dami kong ginagawa, tapos ikaw…”
– This makes them feel like a burden, not a blessing.
10. “Wala kang mararating.”
– What you say becomes their inner voice.
đź’ˇ Reminder:
Words are powerful. What you say can either build your child up… or break them down for life. Discipline with love, and correct with understanding.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21
Kamatayan at buhay ay nasa kapangyarihan ng dila; at ang nagsisiibig sa kaniya ay magsisikain ng kaniyang bunga.
Kawikaan 18:21
