What Mistakes Do Parents Commonly Make?

Common Mistakes Made By Parents

Pampering
Loving kids is fine but pampering just spoils them. Sooner or later, you would regret such parenting styles. This is one of the common mistakes made by parents.

Space
In the starting stages, your kid is your world. You try to spend the whole day with your kid playing with him or her. This is a good thing to do but just remember that sometimes your kid too needs some space. If you try to constantly occupy your kid's world, he or she may feel suffocated at times. Be there but don't occupy.

Comparison
It is not a wise idea to push your kid to perform well just because other kids in the neighborhood do well in certain areas. Your kid would hate it vehemently when you start that comparison game.

Ignoring Your Partner
Once your kid becomes the center of the universe, you may totally forget the needs of your spouse. Well, that might make you a good parent but not a good spouse. And eventually, you might even fail to be a good parent if your spouse starts complaining and you start fighting in front of your kids.
