Crushing Children

Every child ever born is unique, but many parents seem to have a desire to try to make their children fit in and conform. It seems to be about an easing of their minds. Children who are quite different from their parents are often unsettling to them. Some parents even get angry at and very critical of children who they think are strange in their eyes. Some even get animated in an hysterical way at their children for being themselves. This of course confuses the child and causes them to try to act in a way that is acceptable to their parents because they want the love of their parents.
Yes, children have to be taught to be responsible and to do duties of life. And there have to be boundaries, but parents can't crush the childs true nature when teaching them how to get along with the details of life. All children are smart at something, God didn't leave anyone out. Parents should nurture their child's true nature, every child has a unique one.
Often though, children are confused by parents even punishing them for being themselves, then they go to school confused where they are made fun of and even bullied by other kids. They want to be liked by their peers so they try to change themselves even more. Thus their anxiety increases even more, to the point where they don't know who they are or how to be who they are. Young people going through this often have anxiety ridden adulthoods. Please parents, don't crush your child's true nature while teaching them the ropes of life. Encourage them to be who they are. The world so need who they really are.
