Powerful stuff and good points.
I have never been a parent, but I am in the position of guiding people. It seems to me that this is a similar process.
I think it comes to this.
Give the person (child or adult) the opportunity to create a positive and attainable vision for themselves.
Encourage them along the path to the fulfilment of that vision.
Every time they fail, encourage them to have another go.
Offer grace and forgiveness instead of criticism and condemnation.
We have to watch how we react to people and situations.
Very often, when we react badly, it is because we let our ego get in the way. The things that we find annoying, insulting, upsetting or offensive are the result of us choosing to take them that way.
Sometimes, we put to high a value on things and not enough on people.
