They don't condone a victim mentality
They don't parent out of guilt
They don't make their child the center of the universe
They don't allow fear to dictate their choices
They don't give their child power over them
They don't expect perfection
They don't let their child avoid responsibility
They don't shield their child from pain
They don't feel responsible for their child's emotions
They don't prevent their child from making mistakes
They don't confuse discipline with punishment
They don't take shortcuts to avoid discomfort
They don't lose sight of their values.
