Sleep faster. We need the pillows.

"As a parent myself, I've learned that all the wisdom and love in the world doesn't necessarily protect you from parenting in ways that hold your children back from thriving, gaining independence, and becoming the leaders they have the potential to be," writes Kathy Carprino in her Forbes article, "7 Crippling Parenting Behaviors That Keep Children from Growing into Leaders." The seven behaviors:
- We don't let our children experience risk.
- We rescue too quickly.
- We rave too easily.
- We let guilt get in the way of leading well.
- We don't share our past mistakes.
- We mistake intelligence, giftedness, and influence for maturity.
- We don't practice what we preach.

A leader or a doer? For my child, my focus is on the latter.

This is so true. Children today expect us to pick them up after a conflict or fall, because we don't let them take on consequences. Parents tend to make excuses for their child (and I am so guilty of this too) when they do something wrong, instead of letting them take responsibility. When they get older they can not function as an adult in the work force as well because of this. We are only human and we all make mistakes. Let you child take responsibility for their actions, they will learn from their mistakes and make a responsible adult in the future. Teach them to respect others as well as you the parent.
