Never Lie In Front Of Kids
Acharya Chanakya warns parents against lying in front of their children. Children quickly pick up the same habit when they see their parents lying. This creates a negative impact on their young minds. They start hiding things and telling lies regularly. Parents must teach kids that lying is a terrible mistake, even as a joke.
Parents sometimes shout or use bad words while fighting with each other. They also expose each others flaws just to win the argument. These toxic situations deeply affect a childs mindset. The child learns to use bad language instead of showing respect to others.

Stop Over Pampering Your Kids
Parents should never pamper their children more than necessary. A famous Chanakya Niti shloka states:
'Lalanad Bahavo Doshastadanad Bahavo Gunah |
Tasmatputram Cha Shishyam Cha Tadayenna Tu Lalayet ||'
This simply means excessive pampering builds bad habits in children. Parents must raise them with proper discipline to build good values.

Do Not Ignore Their Mistakes
Parents often ignore their childs mistakes out of blind love. Children eventually stop fearing the consequences of making big mistakes. Parents can pamper kids until they turn 5 years old. After that, parents must teach them the difference between right and wrong. Parents should become friendly once the child hits the teenage years. This encourages the child to share everything openly instead of hiding secrets.
