One big mistake a lot of parents make is wanting to become their child’s friend as opposed to their parent. But by doing so you run the risk of over-indulging them and raising a spoiled brat that will be unable to adequately conduct himself in society. As a parent, your role is to guide your children in the right direction, not to give in to every little whim they have. Learn to say “no” every once in a while and see how your child develops into a strong adult that knows he shouldn’t take everything for granted.
