Parenting can be a steep learning curve, no matter how many times you've done it as each child may be different.
And because of that, it can be easy to make the odd mistake and say the 'wrong' thing to a little one from time to time. As well as phrases that might not be right for a situation, parents should also look out for some of the 'worst' things they could say, according to child psychologist Professor Sam Wass
Speaking to the Mirror in partnership with Virgin Media O2's Connected Playground, the expert explained that "inhibiting emotions" doesn't work.
Professor Wass explains: "So for example in September you always see all these parents marching their children to their first day of school, dragging them by the hand and their child is in floods of tears and the parent is walking along and saying in a really cheerful voice 'it's going to be fine, you're going to have a lovely time, don't be scared'.
"And that is exactly what not to do as it just doesn't work."
The expert went on to say that instead of telling them what not to feel, you should try and explain to your child what their emotions are.
"What we think does work is just describing what a child might be feeling, we call this building metacognitive awareness and it's the awareness of the inner child and what they are feeling," Professor Wass explained.

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from “Love,” the finale of the limited series “Tiny Beautiful Things,” now streaming on Hulu. Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” ends on a serene note, with a hospital bed in the middle of a horse pasture and a single spoken word: “love.” The moment is one of the few shared between Kathryn Hahn and Merritt Wever in the limited series, which is based on author Cheryl Strayed’s life and her time writing an advice column called “Dear Sugar.” Wever plays Frankie, the free-spirited mother of Hahn’s character Clare, who (like Strayed’s mother) dies suddenly of lung cancer at the age of 45. The story primarily takes place in the present day as a grown-up Clare (played by Hahn) grapples with the trauma of having lost her mother, while Wever’s character exists in flashbacks to the 1990s when Clare was in her 20s and played by Sarah Pidgeon.
