I think its important to keep in mind that our children were made to be loved, not worshipped. So when we treat them like the center of the universe, we create a false idol, turning a good into an ultimate. Rather than kid-centered homes, we should strive for God-centered homes. Our children will still be loved, only in a better way, one that promotes selflessness over selfishness. We parents take great pride in our children. When they succeed, it makes us happier than if wed done it ourselves. But if were overly involved and invested in their lives, it gets hard to see where they end and we begin. When our children become extensions of us, we may see them as our second chance. Suddenly its not about them, its about us. This is where their happiness starts getting confused with our happiness.
