Most parents don't want their children to make the same mistakes they made but learn from them instead.
And i don't blame them for this.
But i personally think children should be allowed to make their own mistakes and learn from them as this gives them more experience and a better understanding of the kind of world they are living in.
And also enable them avoid such mistakes flawlessly in the future.
In essence, i mean, you can never know how hot a fire is until you touch it. But as their parents, we should be there to make sure they don't get burnt in the fire (i.e protect them), but to ensure that they have just a lil scar to make them remember how hot a fire can be.
Your thoughts.

Advise, after which you let them carry out their actions, make their mistakes, have their experiences and live their life.
I could never understand why some parents deem it fit to live through their kids.
If it weren't necessary that each lived his life, we'd simply be born and suddenly start living from where our parents stopped, and not have to start the whole process of life again.
