“Trent and Amber Johnston have made some big parenting mistakes on Seven Little Johnstons which they haven’t been able to fully recover from.

While the Dew undoubtedly loves their five children, they haven’t always made the best choices on their Parenthood Journey, whether they thought they were doing the right thing or not. It certainly impacted their relationship with their kids according to TLC.

The family of seven on Seven Little Johnstons is the world’s largest known family of a chondroplasia dwarfs, and the show centers on their lives as a family.

Trent and Amber have two biological children, Jonah and Elizabeth “Liz” Johnston, and they later adopted Anna, Emma, and Alex Johnston.

Like any good parents, Trent and Amber are proud of their children and are invested in their lives. However, that hasn’t stopped them from making some major mistakes along the way.

Time to look at 10 parenting mistakes the Seven Little Johnstons couple have made with their five children. When Emma was preparing for her homecoming dance, her sisters Liz and Anna helped her to get ready for the big night. They assisted her with picking out a dress, and Liz did her makeup and hair.

However, getting Emma ready for the dance wasn’t a simple process as Amber was involved. Emma went through quite a few different makeup trials before her mother approved of a look that she didn’t deem the equivalent of a Boulevard worker. Amber’s strict and controlling expectations about endless hair and makeup on Seven Little Johnstons didn’t cast her in the best light.

When it was time to drive Alex to the airport so he could visit his girlfriend Ali in Ohio, it wasn’t a smooth trip on Seven Little Johnstons. Amber didn’t account for the traffic and the amount of time it would take to find a parking space once they arrived.

As concerned as she was about Alex missing his flight, she didn’t prepare him in terms of time management or building his confidence. He was already nervous about where to go and what to do once he got to the airport since it was his first flight. Her attitude on their way there didn’t help, neither did her frustration over not knowing where to park.

Throughout the seasons of Seven Little Johnstons, Trent and Amber have seemingly held their daughter Anna to a different standard than her siblings. She’s considered the free spirit and rebellious one in her family who often found herself being corrected by her parents. Anna grew up in a Russian orphanage for the first four years of her life and struggled to form relationships once she was adopted by Amber and Trent. Now that Anna is an adult, she’s made immense progress. However, Amber admits that she dropped the ball in her early years and feels she could have done more emotionally to help her transition.”
