Every day is a new learning opportunity, especially if you're a parent and we've recently discovered a major misconception many mums and dads have about their kids, thanks to an expert.
Child psychologist Professor Sam Wass has been sharing his wisdom with The Mirror, and as part of this, he's also revealed some of the 'worst' phrases parents can say to their children and that should be avoided.
The professor, who is an expert in child stress and attention and has previously appeared on the Channel 4 show The Secret Life of 4 and 5 Year Olds, claims that the worst thing you can do is to try and tell your little one not to feel their emotions, be it, sadness, anger, or something else entirely, as this would be a big mistake.
