JAKARTA - Throwing jokes at children can be a tactic to build an intimate relationship with your little one. However, not all jokes can be accepted by children, especially if it is physically related. Not only hurt, children can also be mentally ill if this joke is continuously thrown.

Launching from HerStory, Tuesday, October 12, here are some jokes that parents should avoid for the sake of their children's mental health.

Laughing at children's mistakes

Sometimes when your little one makes a mistake, their behavior looks adorable so parents can't help but laugh. In fact, laughing at their mistakes is something that should not be done. Children will feel less confident and fail to do something.

Mention physical deficiencies

Joking by mentioning a child's physical deficiency is also considered not good. This will kill his self-confidence. Do not occasionally call him black, fat, or skinny. Remember, everyone has flaws, including your child.

Scaring and threatening

Don't let this type of joke cross your mind, okay? Indeed, seeing children scared and panicked can build the mood of parents. However, this has a long-lasting effect that makes your little one easily worried, afraid, and anxious.
