You can squat parallel to a mirror if you want. Try it at home or at the gym. Just keep going down, trying to keep an arch, and go down till it goes away. Until you get more flexible just down as low as you can while maintaining a strong arch.
As for front squats, how are you gripping the bar? The reason it probably hurts your wrist because you may be holding onto the bar with your hands. Don't. Let the bar rest on your deltoids and hold it in place with your fingers. There should be ZERO wrist pressure. Keep your elbows up as high as you can.
I front squat with only two fingers on the bar (middle and index). The bar is completely on my delts, fairly far back, almost touching my neck. Don't put it too far back though because you probably don't want to suffocate yourself. Just make sure you're keeping your chest up and your back arched and your elbows up.
