Do parents give psychological complexes to children?

Hello friends! Today I went with my daughter to a theater studio. For the first time. I must say that our schedule is extremely busy, and therefore we were getting ready for the trip pretty quickly.

Since I was walking with the baby before the trip, there was no way to supervise the baby. And it was necessary! When we came to the studio, I saw a hole in my daughter's pants. More precisely, I was convinced of its presence. Initially, I made sure that the pants were "wrong" while on the bus and got upset there. Just ... don't be upset, and the hole in your pants won't disappear. On the bus, we agreed that the daughter would work out in the "top" pants, which she puts on the street for warmth.

Already in the studio, the daughter, of course, forgot about it. I realized that the hole could be hidden by pulling the bottom of the pants up. But my daughter at some point got tired of my "attempts" and she simply said: "Come on, mom, leave it." She was also supported by the woman who was next to her: "It's okay, everyone has it."

My daughter rode off to study in the studio, and I analyzed the situation. Well, I tried in every possible way to hide the hole while my daughter decided not to take it all to heart. As an adult, I probably would be complex about the appearance. By my actions, I could make the child understand that a hole is a situation that should be embarrassed. She behaved more correctly: she decided not to get hung up, not to get complex.

In general, the conclusion here is rather sad: there is no need to teach a child to strive to be better than he is. This can lead to the creation of complexes and internal neuroses. It's easier to treat everything - this is the recipe for normal self-esteem. And the holes ... Well, everyone does, don't they?

All good!

P.S. In general, it seems to me that the existing hole and not a hole at all, but a small hole that no one noticed at all!
