with some parents ... having children ... is their biggest mistake
If only life and raising children came with some sort of instruction booklet...
Why is there no "return" policy on children who don't perform as we expect them to?
You could try one of those as an opening to an introduction ...
Good Luck :)

maybe something like...........
What are common mistakes parents make with their children,is it spending time instead of money,Or time all together? Is it parents trying to be a friend and letting them do things that they think are cool and it leads up too nothing but a big mistake? Or is it parents thinking that their kids are mature enough to make their own desicions on certain things? There are so many things that parents make the mistakes on depending on how they were raised,what they were taught, and even how they were disiplined!
Okay I hope you like this and it will help you!! good luck hope you gat a good grade!

I think a common mistake is that parents don't give their children enough credit. Children are smart and capable of quite a bit more than most adults expect. We talk with our children. We don't talk down to them. I know so many parents who are still babying their children at the age of 3. I treat my 3 yr. old as a 3 yr. old but certainly not like a baby. People are often surprised at hour articulate he is. Well, that is because I talk to him as a person because he is a person. So many parents treat their kids more like pets than actual people.

1. Parents aren't spending enough quality time with their children
2. Parents don't hug or give their children the proper love they need.
3. Parents don't put their children number 1
4. Parents don't enforce consequences when necessary.
5. Parents don't know how to give a proper spanking anymore.
6. Parents have 2 incomes even when it's not necessary.

Let me see if I can help, since I've raised two children who, in spite of their mom and I, have turned out to be pretty good young adults, now 21 and 22 years old. To try to list the common mistakes parents make with their kids is to invite a dissertation-length paper with so many variables that it would never end. We try to do our best, or many of us do anyways, but so much happens in the life of a child that no matter how much we try, there's always something that's going to get by us. Maybe the most common thing we do, as I surely do, is to blame ourselves for all the things that didn't turn out the way we wanted them to or we planned on. We need to stop crucifying ourselves with guilt trips that society and ourselves burden us with day after day after day. Truly realize that to raise a child is a job that there are not enough hours in the day or days in the week to do as we really want it done, so, we just do our best, with whatever we've learned by our own experiences as a child and what we've heard growing up. And some of us are smart enough to pray to Jesus our Christ for help, because there just ain't no way to get it done right without Him. And, in the end result, we don't need to feel so great about how our kids grew up, or bad about how "bad" they grew up. We have some impact, but not near enough, and we just have to do our best, and pray that Jesus our Christ will get them through the really tough times. I hope this helps you. God Bless you.

They don't trust them enough. They make them feel inferior or stupid causing long lasting psychological problems they will have to deal with when they are adults. They ignore them or let them be too independent on the parents. Start with saying that parents often make mistakes with their children and often they lead to troubles in the children's future. blah blah blah you know what I'm saying?

one mistake i see happen alot is empty threats, for example... parent says' if you do that one more time your going to your room' kid does it again parent says ' what did i tell you, ill put you in your room if you do that one more time' basically showing the kid that even though they said it, they arent going to follow through! giving in to tantrums is another big mistake!
