The worst thing that a parent can do to their children
Giving the children what they ask for without doing any effort will teach them to depend on others. Not spending time with the children is a bad thing because you need to understand them and know what they want and what they need. Children may suicide or take drugs because their parents don't care about them and don't know how they spend their time.
The worst thing a parent can do to their child is comparing them to their siblings. Telling them "Why can't you be more like your brother?'' send messages to the child that he is not smart enough makes the child hate his brother. In my opinion, Making kids carry out punishments disproportionate to the mistake is not a helpful thing. It won't help them learn from their mistake, they might do that mistake again. The worst thing is Making kids feel rejected and unloved. A parent that force their children to love what they love is a horrible thing. Children are normal people with their individual choices, preferences, likes, and dislikes.

Very good points! However, your first point regarding education fails to consider that there are parents who cannot afford good schools.
