7 Common Parenting Mistakes Even Good Parents Make

Having a little kid who wants to be just like you when he grows up is one of the most endearing parts of parenthood.

Even though some parents take the concept of fulfilling their abandoned dreams a la their child a little too far, having the same likes and interests as your children — and then watching them succeed in those areas — is a pretty magical phenomenon. Just make sure you allow your kids to explore their own passions.
