Mistake #4: Raising the child we want, not the child we have. As parents we harbor dreams for our children. They start when we get pregnant, before the genders even known. Secretly we hope theyll be like us, only smarter and more talented. We want to be their mentors, putting our life experiences to good use. But the irony of parenting is that children turn our molds upside down. They come out wired in ways we never anticipated. Our job is to figure out their inherent, God-ordained bent and train them in that direction. Forcing our dreams on them wont work. Only when we see them for who they are can we impact their life powerfully.
