Parenting Pathways

FAILS IN PARENTING CHILDREN…

“One of the reasons why parents fail in their attempts to counsel their children is because parents seldom share their failures with them. Rather, they tend to talk about how successful they were in school, how good they were as children, and so on. In doing so, they set up ideals which usually are not true to the facts as they actually occurred, but even only as they remember them. Not only that, even if these stories were true, they wouldn’t help greatly. The sinning child needs to learn the consequences of failure in concrete ways, the problems failure brings, what to do to avoid failure, and how to deal with failure when it does occur. Mythical legends of parental success do not teach this principles.”
