Living with an Inferiority Complex

Living with inferiority complex is something that can spoil anyone’s life, feeling that he is less important than others or feeling that he is not up to their standard will definitely prevent him from reaching his true potential and from living a happy life.

However the good news is that no one is born inferior, its just something that we learn through our life experiences as children, and here comes the role of the parent, as a parent you should take care while raising your child not to result in making him grow as an inferior adult.

How to Prevent Inferiority Complex in Children

The following are tips that if well applied can help in preventing your child from growing up as an inferior adult:

• Don’t ignore your child's Needs: I really wonder when I see how some of the parents treat their children, they just leave them crying or ignore some of their needs thinking that they are unimportant, however the mistake they do in here is that they didn’t know that these things are important to the child!! Your child considers himself a grownup, when he wanted that toy he wanted it because he felt its important to him, so even if you were planning not to buy it just convince him instead of leaving him crying. Ignoring your child will only result in making him feel unimportant as so grow up feeling inferior.
• Don’t favour one child and leave the other: some parents take extra care of one of the children while taking less care of the other, this could make the child think that he is not worth the care and so result in developing an inferiority complex
• Only criticise him when its extremely important: You should do your best to avoid criticising your child, after all if your child hears 20 critic comments everyday that will make 49840 critic comments a year!! How come can your child feel worthy after all of these critic comments damaged his view of himself?
• Love Your Child: I know that you love him but he should know it too, it will be totally useless if you loved him without letting him know, love is not just the emotions you feel, it’s the way you act towards listening to him, taking care of him and meeting his needs
• Build his self confidence:Your child cant both grow feeling confident and inferior, he can only experience one of these emotions, by raising a confident child you will be preventing him from feeling inferior as an adult
