Advice based on experiences, studies, but is defers per parent
Biased Approach
Parents can have a biased opinion on their children based on their own experiences. To oppose what the teenagers think including habits, careers, and how they act later when they are an adult. This can be beneficial but does not truly allow the child to reach their full potential from parents shaping their outlook
Unbiased Approach
Having to teach them the fundamentals in life while supporting what the child wants by giving them freedom of mind in their lives. Granting a framework and allowing such freedom will represent the unbiased approach based off of experiences
Negative Biased Approach
Parents with traumatic experiences may teach a child based on bias in a negative way. This way can cause issues involving their own mental health and more of a burden on the child to make their own decisions which can go both ways.
