sit back more on the squat and if you need to widen your stance. Don't obsess over watching what your knees do - just sit back and then down.

Parallel isn't "thighs parallel" - it is that the line from the crease of your hip to the top of your patella is parallel to the ground - so probably lower than you think - but that's when your femur is actually parallel. You can practice with body weight to get the feel of the movement.
