# [[Why Kids Stay Silent]]
#Parenting #Mental_Wellbeing #Childhood #Advice
Kids will RARELY tell their parents about something bad that happens to them - especially if those kids are worried that their parents will start by blaming THEM.
Phrases like "why did you even go with those people" - "ููุด ุฃุตูุง ุชุญูู ู
ุน ููู ุนุงูู
"
or "I told you a million times not to do this" - "ููุชูู ู
ูููู ู
ุฑุฉ ู
ุง ุชุฑูุญ ูููููู"
or "it's you who got yourself into this trouble" - "ุงูุช ุฌุจุช ูุงูู
ุตูุจุฉ ูุญุงูู"
or "let's deal with this and your punishment will come later" - "ุญุณุงุจู ุจุนุฏูู"
If you ever use such statements with your kids, rest assured that they will NEVER tell you when something wrong happens to them.
