Answer

Allah Ta'ala will deal with each and every person according to his/her intention. Generally parents, being motivated by the love of their children, guide them towards that which is best for them. If their guidance was incorrect, it will be regarded as a sincere mistake.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
