As parents we want our best for our children and rightly so. We want them to learn from our mistakes and do better in life. In this process we super impose our dreams and unfulfilled wishes on them. Instead of giving them wings to fly, we crush their dreams and their creativity. We constantly hand hold them by not allowing them to make their own mistakes. In the process, they may lose their self-esteem and confidence. Unless they go through their own learning curve and their struggle, how will they organically learn to become good human beings? The road may not be easy but that is what makes them tough and confident young adults who believe in themselves and their dreams. We do not own our children. Our children come in this world with equal potential to learn survival skills and thrive and create their own dreams and future.
