Labels have flooded societies. Humans have lost their uniqueness and have gone behind the bars of labels. Schools have incorporated a standard of education that tells whether a child is smart or not.
When a child gets a label from their parents, for example a "bad boy" or a "trouble maker," they start to see themselves attached to this label and think that this is who they really are. They associate themselves with these labels, which are negative.
According to the Center of Parenting Education post, labels are not only bad when they are attached to bad words. Labels can also serve a negative purpose even when words such as "princess" or "king" or a "baby" are used as a label by parents for their children.
By using such words, parents are making their children entitled. They will start feeling superior from others and if they will be asked to do any work, which they think is not good enough for them, they will straight away refuse it and will not think about others.
The statements posted by the Center of Parenting Eductaion were also echoed by The Empowering Parents post, saying labels certainly leave a bad effect on a child. Labels could also make them less confident about themselves, not to mention the fact that labeling could breed doubt and low self-esteem, wherein a child feels that they have already been stamped and this is how it is going to be for the rest of their lives.
A parent should speak well about their children and that too in front of them. It will make your child feel confident and good about themselves. Another thing that a parent can do is that they should behave the way they want their child to behave.
Parents should model the behavior that they would like to see in their children. So, free your child from disabling labels and you as a parent should also not label them.
