You can ask your parents for tips, or you can read countless self-help books to aid you in your journey, but for the most part, you make it up as you go

Every parent wants to raise healthy, happy, confident children, and they know that it’s not an easy task. You can ask your parents for tips, or you can read countless self-help books to aid you in your journey, but for the most part, you make it up as you go.

You figure out what and what doesn’t work, you discover methods your children do and don’t respond to. But sometimes parents do things with the best of intentions only to find out that in reality they’re actually not doing their children any favors.

No one will blame you for an honest mistake, especially since every parent have different methods of rearing their children. The Parent Herald offers the 5 bad parenting habits that you should stop doing:

1. Not setting up rules

5 Bad Parenting Habits You Should Stop Doing

“In parenting, you have to learn how to discipline your children and the best way to do it is to set rules for them to follow, as reported by About.com. Making rules is just like teaching them the difference between good and bad.”

2. Not following your own rules

5 Bad Parenting Habits You Should Stop Doing

“Children are likely to follow what their parents are doing. To make your children responsible and disciplined, you should start it with your own self as an example to them.”

3. Giving in consistently to your kids

5. Acting as servants to your kids
