My girls will be fine than haha

High expectations and nagging seem like two very different things.

Nagging is ok if it is done constructively. It depends on the age of the child the method you use. Some parents forget that little ones need to be shown how to do a thing a few times – not just once – they don’t have the ability to learn as fact as older children do. With an older child pre-teens you need to show them more than once if it isn’t as simple as you think it might be for them. You show a 10 or less how to do something and expect them to do it alone a month later. especially if you didn’t make the time for them to be able to let you do it completely. I know parents who do that a lot., then do it differently the next time. It confuses the kids and they don’t know which way to do it them. Then one parent takes the attitude of ‘do what I say not as I do’ One of them yells at the kids all the time, often doesn’t say the kid’s name first and wonders why the things aren’t done

Hasn’t worked in my home

I guess this would depend on the relationship between the mother and kids, whether closer or terrifying (some parents can be scary and angry with their nagging, which could either make a person obey or rebel). Some people are more prone to following rules than others who are determined to do their own thing.

Idk my mum nagged at me too much it just made me rebel more

Looks like my childgren are going to be very influenced then! haha.

Nothing wrong with having certain expectations.
Repeating what you’ve asked till they listen is ok.
But nagging ?

Sometimes nagging is necessary and my Mum certainly did her share.

No my mom doesn’t nag as much as my dad. Lol

Very interesting study lol

Haha I must tell my mum this. I try not to nag as much as she still does.

It probably more so comes down to repetition, we need to remember things that are repeated over and over.

This bodes well for my kids.

My kids all under 4.. so yes, lots of nagging lol

Well both my kids should be excellent human beings…lol

it is exhausting at times

Some days it felt like all I was doing was nag. It’s good to know something good might actually come out of it

I could nag in the Olympics. I hope it does pay off eventually.

i have toddlers now, not so much nagging needed, but I anticipate that I’ll be a nagger as they get older. This article just makes me feel better about that inevitable outcome!
