In an Instagram video, NLP practitioner Pushpa Sharma says that you should never say these 5 things to the eldest child of the house. The first thing is that parents should never tell the child that 'you are an elder, behave like an elder'. Instead tell them, 'Your feelings are also important, tell me how I can help.'

Parenting coach tells that parents should not say 'stop crying, now you have grown up', instead say 'it is okay to cry or be upset, I am here to listen'. Also, never say that 'I depend more on you'.

Parenting coach Pushpa Sharma further says that do not tell the elder child, 'I expect more from you', but instead say - 'I just want you to try your best'. Every child learns differently, so just try your best.

Experts further say that parents should never tell the first child of the house to be responsible and set an example for the younger children. Instead of saying 'You be perfect' tell them I am very grateful when they help, but remember, you are still a child. Perfection is not expected from you.
