> Even the best parents can be guilty of doing one or more of The 7 Worst

> Mistake #1
> Putting Your Marriage Last: Good parents often say - in a way that can
> almost
> sound boastful - that their children are their life and everything else
> comes
> second to them. It might sound good to neighbors and friends, but
> according
> to the Friels it's an approach that can be disastrous for you, your

> and your children. "When kids grow up in a child-focused family," says
> John,
> "they grow up not knowing what a good marriage is." Show them by putting
> your
> spouse first. Your children will learn how a solid relationship operates.

> Mistake #2
> Babying Your Child: It's understandable that you don't want your child to
> suffer even the slightest disappointment. Unfortunately, disappointment is
> a
> fact of life we all have to learn to live with, and home is a better place
> to

> at
> the same time, or being unable to see your child struggle with anything,
> you
> could be babying your child... and in effect, raising a baby!
>
> Mistake #3
> Failing to Give Your Child Structure: Kids want structure in their lives
> whether they act like it or not. A lack of structure can show up in a
> number
> of ways, from failing to give your child chores (and expecting them to be
> done) to creating a relationship with your little one that's more like
> "best
> friends" than parent and child. Which brings us to...
>
> Mistake #4
> Being Your Child's Best Friend: "Hip" parents often commit this blunder,
> largely because they'd rather be liked by their child than respected... or
>
> because they fear making their child angry. Sorry folks, but "you can't be
> a
> good parent, therapist or teacher if you can't stand to have people angry
> at
> you," according to John. Or a talk show host, added Oprah. Unfortunately,
> occasional anger goes with the parental territory, and it's important for
> your child to learn that you can be angry with someone and still love
> them.
>
> Mistake #5
> Pushing Your Child Into Too Many Activities: Too many over-achieving
> parents
> can't wait to watch their little ones follow in their footsteps. But is
> there
> anything sadder than an eight-year-old who has to carry a Filofax to keep
> all
> his commitments straight... or a parent who has to play taxi driver to
> make
> them all happen? One activity that your child enjoys is enough for both of
>
> you!
>
> Mistake #6
> Expecting Your Child to Fulfill Your Dreams: This mistake goes
> hand-in-hand
> with number five, and it's an error that the Friels warn can "destroy your
>
> child's spirit." Children are genetically disposed to excel in some things
>
> and not in others. Don't push your little painter to become a physicist or
>
> vice versa. "You wind up with a child who has a broken spirit," warns
> John,
> "and society can lose the next Picasso or Einstein."
>
> Mistake #7
> Ignoring Your Emotional and/or Spiritual Life:
> We need to fulfill our needs, emotional and spiritual needs in order to be
>
> able to give to other people/to our children.
>
> note:
> dalam show tsb, dijelaskan pengarang buku tsb John dan Linda Friel
> mengatakan
> bahwa yang mereka maksud di atas adalah untuk pasangan yang solid, good
> parents, yang terkadang tanpa disadari melakukan sesuatu yang
> berakibat/memberi efek negatif di kemudian hari,
> mereka tidak menujukan kepada pasangan yang mengalami abusif relationship,
>
> atau anak di-abuse dsb, tentunya itu amat jauh lebih buruk.
