There are individuals who aspire to uncommon goals and unique careers. Teaching That a Child's Dreams, Aspirations, and Goals Are Impossible to Reach

Preach a positive mental approach to dealing with failures and mistakes. There is no need to take a negative tone when speaking to a child about the mistakes they have made. There is a great deal of value in recognizing when you make a mistake and then correcting it. Teaching your child to accept mistakes and failures positively is a good way to go about things.

They want their kids to be perfect because perfection = success. Making mistakes = ineptitude + utter stupidity. God forbid that they should make mistakes. They often have insanely unrealistic expectations that their offspring must be as perfect and blemish-free as possible. However, there are parents who equate mistakes with grave mortal sins. Childhood is a time to freely explore, try on different personas, and fall on your face. Making mistakes is an integral part of a child's learning and growth process. Parents should encourage their children to think outside the box and be creative. So if a young one dares to have a unique, creative, and innovative thought or idea, it is squashed and often labeled as outlandish and weird because nobody else thought of it! These parents are totally soul-destroying and killing the dreams of a potential Picasso, Einstein, Mozart, and/or free thinker.Ĭonformity is a necessary thing in certain cases but parents should work on helping their child develop their unique talents while respecting the norms of society.
