TV child psychologist confirms the worst things parents say to their kids

A child psychologist, known for appearing in many popular TV shows, has shared some words of wisdom when it comes to parenting.

Professor Sam Wass has revealed some of the 'worst' phrases parents can say to their children and that should be avoided.

The Mirror reports how 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.
