Parent Power
Whenever we look back with "20-20 hindsight," we're able to discern mistakes that we have made raising our children. Anyone in a position of power, if honest with himself or herself, will be able to pinpoint areas where a different course of action might have led to better results.
On the other hand, to avoid mistakes means to refuse to take charge; essentially, to let someone else take responsibility.
We, as parents -- imperfect and limited as we may be -- have enormous influence on our children's lives.
So, rather than look back, examine what you can do now. You have the power to bring happiness to the world.

That is so true, my parents always regret the mistakes they have made but don't focus enough on what they can do in the present to get closer with their children and grandchildren, what a pity!!!
