'Because I said so' is a good parenting choice
Most parents who want to do a good job can feel frustrated. Here are some common mistakes and how to overcome them.
A parent's job is to provide leadership. When a relationship is the priority, effective leadership is impossible.
Arguably the No. 1 Biggest Parenting Mistake is explaining oneself to one's kids, giving them reasons and explanations for parental decisions as if a parental decision isn't valid and can't be put into practice unless the child in question approves.
Explanations also assume that parent and child are peers and that the parent's authority in any given situation is open to negotiation.
