effects of a parent teasing their kids?

Question

What will the long-term effects be on a 10 year old boy who is constantly being teased be his father???

Answer 1

Please be more specific...
Gentle teasing - like when your child comes home with an A on a test, and you proudly announce that everyone who comes to visit will have to see it...is great. It shows your kid that you are proud of them, and with the clear message that they have the right to be proud of themselves as well.
Teasing that creates tears, anger, frustration or embarrassment in front of friends or family is neither helpful nor healthy.

long term effects on unhealthy teasing can create lots of different reactions, since we are all different as human beings. The child could become very shy, silent, invisible, or go the other way and become a bully, a teaser in turn (especially to someone younger) or turn their anger inward and become self-destructive.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Teasing is bad for your kids, 90% of the time it is at their expense. The other 10% of the time when it is ‘joking’ ‘conspiratorial’ ‘sarcastic’ or ‘dry humour’ its still bad because it establishes a non parent-child dialogue with a kid. This can be OK if they are 16 and soon to be an adult but at age 10 this dynamic is not appropriate and will undermine your future relationship with them.

The long-term effect? The father will be shaving one morning and wondering why his kid is so screwed up. As he looks in the mirror when he lifts the razor to his face the answer will be staring back at him, but he wont see it.

Answer 3

If the teasing is of the good natured sort its probably ok as long as the boy is also taking it as good natured. But if it is bothering the boy even a little then it needs to stop. Because then its called bullying not teasing. And this can lead to other more serious problems.

Answer 4

Depends on what the teasing is about but it is more then likely wrong. A parent should be positive with the kids not teasing them. Some good natured teasing abut girls or something maybe.

Answer 5

He may grow up always feeling inadequate and always striving to please his dad. I know. My dad teased me endlessly and I always felt less than a person. I felt I could never do enough to prove to my dad I was a capable person. I'm almost 32 and up until this year I have continued to strive to please dad and he has continued to tease me or put me down. The only thing that changed this year is that dad left my mom and I saw him in a new light and realized he wasn't worth my time and trouble. I'm a successful person and I no longer cares if he realizes it. But, again, I'm almost 32. That is long time to live like that. I imagine the affects could be worse for a boy. Ya know, because boys want to be seen as men and as strong as their fathers. I hope, for your son's sake, that his father knocks it off. Even if he thinks it is done in fun...your son probably doesn't view it that way. I used to smile and laugh along with dad when he teased me but inside I felt like i was being torn apart.

Answer 6

Introvert, reverting type behaviour, low self esteem, anti-social behaviour, subject to finding those who "accept" him (i.e.-gangs). Teasing is teasing, good-natured or not. It's one thing to be proud of his achievements, but the teasing may soon be looked upon as ridicule. That will ultimately create a wedge between father and son so large it might not be fixable.

Answer 7

well if its a joking tease...if he knows tht it is just for fun, then no big deal. i anm 16 and growing up i had my parents and parents friends joke around in a sarcastic way and i always enjoyed it cause it left me open to joke with them, i have no problems other than the fact that i am known for my humour and sarcasm...but if you mean teasing like "you need to loose weight fatty" or "stupid, wht you make on your test...a 50 right cause your so studid" u kno stuff like that can do serious damage and would be classified as mental abuse...no joke


live
love
prosper

Answer 8

Is it good teasing or bad. i'm guessing because you seem worried it is bad. At 10 it has already begun to ruin the father son bond. He will never come to his dad with problems for fear of been teased and when he hits his teens he will rebel badly. I would talk to your husband and tell him if he wants to ruin his relationship with his son then congratulations it is working

Answer 9

what do you mean by teasing? Is it just fun and games or is he being mean? If its out of meanness then yes I would think it would effect the child's self esteem.
