A parenting expert has revealed why a child who is always on his best behavior when around you is actually a bad sign.
Rachel Rogers is a US-based certified parenting coach who regularly shares tips on gentle parenting and understanding your child’s emotions on her Instagram and TikTok.
Recently, the 40-year-old revealed why a child’s good behavior isn’t always a sign of respect and trust.
The mother of daughter Peyton, four, shocked parents when she explained that kids who misbehave are actually “fear” of you in a viral video that has been viewed more than 2.4 million times.

“A child will show their most authentic self and their most vulnerable emotions to the people they trust most,” she said at the beginning of her clip after admitting that she would anger “carer” with this video.
Rachel went on to explain that kids who behave are not out of disrespect, but rather because they feel comfortable with you.
This means that if a child is ‘well-behaved’, they are probably afraid to express themselves around you.
“That means if a kid is always very well behaved and is a good girl or boy to you, they don’t trust you completely, they are afraid of you.
“They’re afraid of what you’re doing to them if they’re showing their most authentic selves or if they’re showing their most vulnerable emotions,” she explained.
One child’s mother noted that parents often praise their children for their good behavior because they believe it is a sign of “respect.”
However, Rachel said respect has nothing to do with it, adding that if your child never shows their emotions, it indicates a troubling relationship.
“We like to say it’s respect, but it’s not, it’s fear,” she said at the end of her video.
Fellow parents and kids chimed in and showered Rachel’s comment section with praise, noting that she was right.

One mom commented, “I’ve seen this transition with all of my kids. Now they are the most off-the-chain, respectful kids I know! Make your children feel safe! It’s worth it!’
‘Agreed. My autistic son always fuses with me. We also worked on it for 12 years. And we are so close. He will tell you that I am his best friend,” said another user.
“I wish my family understood this. They just say I’m being manipulated by my child,” said another.
“This is so true,” another user added.
One person added, “As a child who has been abused, this is so true.”
