In my view, biological parents should encourage their children by acknowledging their capabilities and abilities. They need to teach them to be independent throughout the learning process.
How would parents encourage their children?

That is true. It is unhealthy to compare their kids with the others. If they do, rebellious kids will be the outcome.
I have faced this in my life too but I will make sure to not do that with my future kids
It's hard for parents to let go and allow their children to make mistakes. I hate seeing my daughter face the consequences of her poor decisions, but it helps her to grow into a more stable adult.
Same. I have found that no matter how much I lecture or try to warn my kids, sometimes they choose to learn the hard way. It it what it is I guess.

That's why sometimes you need to just let them make the choices and deal with the consequences. I try to give my daughter (she's 30) advice in a way that isn't telling her what to do, like I used to do when she was younger with the "You really need to..." Now it's more of, "did you know that...."
Pretty much. At some point they have to go it alone with their own issues and learn from their own mistakes. Although I hate to see them get hurt, sometimes it's the only way they'll ever learn.
Parents should always stop comparing their kids with other children out there. It damages their self esteem and discourages them entirely in life.
