You don't want your child to grow up trying not to disappoint you. You must allow him to be himself, to have his own idiosyncrasy and to be able to grow, developing his personality. Parents need to accept and understand their children's preferences, dispositions, and passions ... that these may be totally different from yours, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
As a parent, it is your duty to think about your child's strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses. By focusing on strengths, parents can begin to see the uniqueness of their children.
Find an activity that highlights your child's strengths and that they can participate in regularly. It will be even better if you participate in these activities with them. Maybe you've always wanted your child to be a basketball star, but your child likes to go to painting class more… seeing how he does it and how he enjoys it will make you understand how special he is and will bring you emotionally close to your son. You will be able to accept it and limit it to this that will really make you grow as a person.
In addition, it is also important that you try to find something in common with your child. There are likely to be at least a couple of activities that match your interests in some way. Lastly, parents should try to provide their children with a supportive environment in which they can feel comfortable and safe to explore, grow, and play. Listen to your children, understand their needs and let them discover the things they really want to do and can enjoy.
Your child does not need to look like you, he needs you to guide and guide him so that they learn to be themselves. Do you already know how you are going to do it today?
