Do not impose

As a parent, we may subconsciously feel obligated to impose our values and beliefs on our kids. However, doing so we're depriving them of their own individuality and their ability to reason.

Silence can be a solution

Due to constant nagging or yelling, children may become distant from their parents and their loved ones. Therefore, silence or refraining from delivering all parental instructions can be the best solution at times.

Don't try to fix everything

A parent wants everything to be perfect. So in trying to maintain that, they seem to go overboard and become victims of stress and anxiety. Therefore, it is okay to let some things slide.

Let your child make mistakes

People are not born perfect. They learn from their mistakes. Therefore, cut your child some slack and let them make their share of errors in life.

Help them differentiate between right and wrong

Children are borne to make mistakes. But it is on the parent to help them differentiate between the right and the wrong, instead of shunning them from committing the same action.

It's okay to fail as a parent

As a parent, one of the most important thing you should remember is that you are only human and it is completely okay to fail sometimes. Failing is the only way to learn and improve yourself as a person.

Take sometime off

Parenting can often lead to a burn out, which is why, you must take the time out to tend to your own needs. This will not only help you focus on your own self, but appreciate other things in life too.
