Some parents tend to be scared to make their kids know when they(the parents) have made mistakes or take wrong decisions or behaved in a wrong way.
We should understand that as humans we cannot always be perfect , as humans there are moments when we will make mistakes, we sometimes might take decisions which might not be the best decisions to take at that time , we might not always behave the right way all the time.
We should learn to make our children understand that even we their parents cannot always be perfect , we should let them know that even we as parents also make mistakes too and we are not always perfect , this would even make the kids to understand life better and that will prevent them to hurt themselves whenever they feel they have made mistakes because they now understand life better and got to realize that mistakes is an opportunity for them to learn and become a better person in life.
