Psychological consultant: Cruelty or excessive pampering in parenting are ways that harm the child

According to Dr. Muhammad Al-Yousef, consultant in psychiatry and mood disorders, cruelty or excessive pampering in parenting are methods that harm the child.

She said during an interview with “Rotana Khalijiya” channel that excessive pampering creates a narcissistic personality who believes no one can refuse his or her request.

Al-Yousef stressed the need to provide the child with the opportunity to rely on himself and do his own thing.

He stressed the need to link punishment to a specific wrongdoing committed by the child, and pointed out that many parents abuse their child without the child knowing the reasons for that violence.
