Nowadays, a special parenting is also very much in trend, which is being called Peacock Parenting. This is a method that can harm the mental and emotional growth of children.

Every parent wants their child to do well. Score good marks, get a good job and be famous in society. However, many times the excessive expectations of parents become pressure on the children. This affects the mental and emotional growth of the children, which later on emerges as a problem. The worrying thing is that many times, the parents do not even know that they are putting excessive pressure on their child in this way. 

You must have often seen that many parents forcefully praise their children in front of others. They show off their own trophies and medals. Initially, it feels good, but gradually it increases the pressure on children. They feel that their small mistake may break the hopes of their parents. Nowadays, a special kind of parenting is also in trend, which is being called Peacock Parenting. This is a method that can harm the mental and emotional growth of children. Let's know about it...

What is Peacock Parenting?

Peacock Parenting means making children a means of your pride and to earn name in the society. Just like a peacock attracts everyone's attention by spreading its colorful feathers, similarly some parents present their children in this way in front of others for their pride. Initially it is just like showing pride, but gradually this habit starts putting pressure on the children. That is, sometimes parents present children as if they are some object for them, like my son sings so well or my daughter has won so many medals. All this sounds good, but if it becomes a habit then it is called Peacock Parenting. 

How does Peacock Parenting affect a child's thinking?

The effect of Peacock Parenting is that children start thinking that they are good only when people clap or praise them. This also reduces their confidence. Apart from this, children start becoming weak from within. When no one praises them, they feel that they have failed. Also, due to this, children do what their parents or people like, not what they like. Due to Peacock Parenting, the fear of doing good all the time sits in their mind. In such a situation, to avoid this, it is important to love both the good and bad qualities of the child. Make him feel that he is loved unconditionally. Every child has his own pace and talent, appreciate him even for his small efforts. This will increase his confidence.
