Many of the lessons we teach children are meant to prepare them for life, but some of them do more harm than good. In this video, we uncover 20 harmful things that are being taught to children, often without parents or teachers realizing it. From outdated gender roles and unrealistic beauty standards to toxic ideas about success, emotions, and self-worth, we’ll explore how these messages shape young minds in damaging ways. You’ll learn how certain “harmless” sayings, cultural norms, and media influences can leave lasting emotional scars or limit personal growth. More importantly, we’ll look at healthier, more positive lessons we can pass on instead, ones that encourage empathy, confidence, and critical thinking. If you’ve ever wondered what ideas we might be getting wrong in raising the next generation, this eye-opening breakdown will challenge what you thought you knew about childhood education and values.
