English term or phrase: I’m going to stick my neck out
Like most parents you love your children. But if you are like many parents you may be doing things that hurt your children’s chances for having real happiness and success when they grow up.

And most of what you are doing is so subtle you probably don’t even realize your parenting is harming your children until someone points it out to you. So I’m going to stick my neck out and point out these common parenting errors, as well as provide positive parenting alternatives.
