According to one child psychologist, there is a rather glaring misconception that parents often have about their children, and has stated that there are certain things that they shouldn't say to them.
Professor Sam Wass, an expert in child concentration and child stress, says there are some phrases that parents commonly use with their children that they should instead avoid.
One of these, he said, is that parents should try to avoid telling their children how to feel, whether it be sadness, anger, or something else entirely, as he said that "ibhibiting emotions doesn't work - it doesn't work for adults and it definitely doesn't work on a child, you can't just tell someone to cancel an emotion.
