Sometimes children have to hear from their parents the phrase “when you grow up” or something like that.

Other moms and dads see no limits to their parental love and therefore accompany every step of their maturing son or grown-up daughter. However, such children do not become adults anytime soon.

Experts have revealed the mistakes that parents make when their children take a long time to mature.

Pay for everything

You can buy clothes and shoes, give pocket money, but you can’t spoil children endlessly.

In such situations, children simply devalue the strength of their parents, as well as their gifts.

Something similar happens when parents rush to the rescue as soon as their son or daughter faces a not-so-difficult problem in life.

This is the shortest way to raise a spoiled child, for whom growing up will simply not be beneficial.

Take care and control every step

Don't stop children from becoming independent, especially when it comes to teenagers.

According to experts, overprotection does not have the best effect on self-esteem.

Therefore, you need to listen and pay attention to the interests of the teenager, control his behavior, but not abuse your authority.

Don't prepare children for adult life

It's not just about sex education and culture in society.

Children need to be taught how to manage money and understand its value, plan expenses and personal time, learn about internet safety, be guided in choosing a specialty, and so on.

Otherwise, it is unlikely that you will be able to raise a harmoniously developed personality.
