7 Crippling Parenting Behaviors

"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:

1. We don't let our children experience risk.
2. We rescue too quickly.
3. We rave too easily.
4. We let guilt get in the way of leading well.
5. We don't share our past mistakes.
6. We mistake intelligence, giftedness, and influence for maturity.
7. We don't practice what we preach.
