The one who gets affected the most is your kid when you and your spouse fights or ‘disagrees’ with something, especially in front of your children. They even think that it is because of them that you two are fighting at the first place.
But it is important that you make them understand that disagreeing with something is totally okay and that it is not their fault at all. Teach them the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong.
2. Why does everyone die?

Lying to your kids about death never helps them or you. Instead, teach them that it’s the natural phenomenon of life. Everyone dies at some point of life, after living their full life. Even for your pets, tell them that they live lesser than humans and flowers live even lesser than your pets.

Kids are innocent and they know nothing about people and their different appearances or their hurtful feelings behind how they are. So, it is your duty to teach them the correct thing, by telling them that everyone has different shape, color, and size, and it’s normal for people to look like the way they want. Pointing fingers on someone is bad and if you want to ask anything, never ask such questions that can hurt their feelings.

Ignoring such queries of your little ones might just peak their curiosity in such things, knowing about their genitals. They might even look for incorrect ways to enquire about their curious questions. So, it is important that you must always answer their such queries with smart answers, and not ignore them. You can simply tell them that boy and girl are born different and it is the way everyone is.
8. Who do you love more, me or my brother?

It is always the case that one kid always makes up his/her mind that their mother loves their sibling more than she loves them! Every house has sibling fights, and it is upon you how you make them feel this that you love them both or all equally, not less and not more than the other.
