Another common mistake that almost all our parents make is the "Setting the Unreasonable Goals". Parents should not consider their children a supernatural creature, they should try to understand them and their abilities.

It is true that all parents want to see their children perfect and expect good grades, good behavior, and a complete goodness.

It is also observed that most modern parents want to get rid of the crucial responsibility of educating their children. The father expects from the mother that she should educate their child and in some cases both the parents remain busy with their jobs, leaving up the responsibilities of educating the children to teachers or someone else. But I think it is the totally wrong concept because no one can educate them as sincerely as you can.

6-Comparing Your Child With Other Children

To have a great love, and to be passionate about you child is quite a natural thing. No one can give your child too much love like you, but even in this matter, you should be a little bit careful for the goodness of your child. Mostly the parents strive for a kid-centered home by fulfilling all their wishes, it seems as if they are worshiping their kids instead of loving them. It is totally wrong because this kid-centered atmosphere promotes selfishness in children instead of selflessness.
