3. Trying to make your kid into someone he/she was never meant to be.
We all have dreams for our kids and hopes for what we would like them to become. Often, those dreams are based on our own preferences and not on the individual wiring of each child. When we try to squeeze a child into a mold that he/she was never meant to fit, the kids will be frustrated and so will the parents. We need to give our kids guardrails that teach healthy boundaries and provide guidance, love and support along the way but we also need to give them the freedom to become the unique Masterpiece God created them to be.
