Good Parents Make Mistakes<\/p>\n

John and Linda Friel (1999) wrote a book entitled The Seven Worst Things that Parents Do. The\n<\/div>\n
same principles apply whether the child is two years old or 14 years old. At any age, the parent\n<\/div>\n
must be the manager, and the child must learn to cope with the demands of life. The behaviors that\n<\/div>\n
the Friels identify as unacceptable include:\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Baby your child\u2014no pressure, no expectations; the alternatives are reasonable\n<\/div>\n
expectations that include schedules, behavior guidelines, and a little struggle.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Put your marriage last\u2014a Child Producing Unit with nothing left for the couple; the\n<\/div>\n
alternative is to design a family schedule for time as a couple and spouse\u2019s priorities.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Push your child into too many activities\u2014avoid personal time by scheduling structured\n<\/div>\n
group activities; alternatively, achieve a balance in family and community group\n<\/div>\n
activities.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Ignore your emotional or spiritual life\u2014inability to connect with something beyond\n<\/div>\n
ourselves; the alternative is to develop humility and trust, take time for living, love.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Be your child\u2019s best friend\u2014no guts for management; alternatively, be the parent and\n<\/div>\n
accept that your child will get angry with you and get your own life.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Fail to give your child structure\u2014no guidelines, no rules; the alternative is to provide\n<\/div>\n
external structure and actively help the child learn self-control strategies.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 Expect your child to fulfill your dreams\u2014push for your career choice; note that twin\n<\/div>\n
studies show importance of genetic predisposition, and a 1998 Harris Poll showed 62\n<\/div>\n
percent of college students would not consider the same career as their parent.\n<\/div>\n

What Could They Have Done Differently?\n<\/div>\n
Research shows that parents are at least partially responsible for a number of competencies, both\n<\/div>\n
academically and socially. Parenting practices have been described as influencing communication\n<\/div>\n
skills, academic achievement, personal relationships, community involvement, use of addictive\n<\/div>\n
substances, and even family relationships. Write a 1-page paper on how your parents influenced\n<\/div>\n
each of these areas of your personal development. Do you think you will do things differently or the\n<\/div>\n
same with your own children?\n<\/div>\n
