You're a disappointment: This phrase can be extremely hurtful and may lead to long-term emotional issues.

Stop crying, it's not a big deal: Dismissing a child's feelings can make them feel invalidated and misunderstood.

I regret having you: This can lead to deep-seated feelings of rejection and unworthiness in a child.

You always mess things up: This generalization can discourage a child from trying new things or taking risks.
