Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Mistake 1: We won't let them fail. When we remove the possibility of failure, we dilute kids' motivation to excel.
Mistake 2: We project our lives on them. When we project, kids are pressured to become someone they are not.
Mistake 3: We prioritize being happy. When happiness is the goal instead of a by-product, it is elusive and disappointing.
Mistake 4: We are Inconsistent. When we are in consistent, we send mixed signals and creed insecurity and instability in kids.
Mistake 5: We remove the consequences. When we remove consequences for actions, we fail to prepare kids for the future.
Mistake 6: We lie about their potential and don't explore their true potential. When we distort, disillusionment results from dreams that don't match kids' gifts.
Mistake 7: We won't let them struggle or fight. When we eliminate the struggle, kids are conditioned to give up easily without trying.
Mistake 8: We give them what they should earn. When we give them too much, they don't learn the art of working and waiting.
Mistake 9: We praise the wrong things. When we affirm kids' looks or smarts instead of their virtues, their value become skewed.
Mistake 10: We value removing all pain. When we take away pain, kids' ability to ensure hardship or loss atrophies.
Mistake 11: We do it for them. When we do things for kids, they can become lazy, unmotivated to grow, and disabled.
Mistake 12: We prepare the path for the child, instead of the child for the path. When we prepare the path, kids' childhoods work fine, but their adulthood looks bleak.
