Never tell a child they’re “immature.” They’ll know you’re comparing them to your own (adult) standards, and it’ll fuck with their self-image forever. If your child is behaving immaturely, tell them what they’re doing wrong and (depending on their age) tell them how to fix it or ask them to come up with their own suggestions for fixing it. But throwing around labels like “immature” does nobody any good. This has been a PSA.
