Things You Should Never Force Your Child to Do

Never force your child to hug or touch someone they’re uncomfortable with, it teaches them to ignore personal boundaries

Avoid pushing your child into a career or hobby just because it’s your dream, not theirs

Don’t compel kids to eat when they’re not hungry; this can lead to unhealthy food relationships later

Forcing perfection in studies or activities builds stress, not excellence. Encourage effort, not unrealistic results

Avoid making your child suppress emotions—allow them to cry, talk, and express feelings freely

Respect your child’s individuality. Forcing conformity stifles confidence and personal growth
