7 Differences Between a Common and Wise Parent

6. A common parent raises a child in an atmosphere of permissiveness, allowing them to take advantage. A wise parent realizes that they have a full right to personal space, hobbies, and time spent without the child. They respect both their own boundaries and those of their child. 7. A common parent tries to protect their child from all life's hardships, doing even what the child hasn't asked for. A wise parent allows the child to make mistakes and then reflects with them on the positive lesson that can be learned from the situation. Wishing everyone wisdom in this challenging endeavor!
