The mistakes we make and how we try to avoid it again with our kids

You see every parent want their kids to be smart and successful in life most possibly more than them. And they try to stir their kids to field which can give them a sustainable and comfortable future. They also want to avoid the mistakes they did in their lives and help their kids away from them. Although the kids would not understand now but we make mistakes all the time and want our kids not to repeat the same mistakes that we did intentionally or unintentionally. I know that it is a hard job to raise your kids with all the gadgetry and other temptations out there but with your knowledge you can let them know that they are not alone in this fight to overcome these temptations and they have sincere people who are genuinely worried about their future and the decisions they make. The best guidance you can give to your kids is to decide what they want to do about their future. You are in that position and sometimes you have made the mistake in choosing your career whether by default (your parents or your relative is in that situation) or by freak of some bad luck. You cannot say that follow your dream because that does not pay your bills. Instead be realistic about the future plans and even have a map that what you want to do and keep on revisiting those plans in order to update according to the circumstances. Apart from this advice, you keep on reflecting on your life of what your mistakes are and then try to prevent it in your kids. This is the best advice that I can give you.
