Some parents buy their children whatever they ask for, and allow their children to do whatever they want. Is this a good way to raise children? What consequences could this style of parenting have for children as they get older?

It is true that some parents are overly permissive (müsamahakar) and tend to spoil their children. In my opinion,

this

is not a good parenting style, and it can have a range of negative long-term consequences. If parents want to raise respectful and well-behaved children, I believe that a certain amount of discipline is necessary. Having worked with children myself, I have learnt that clear expectations and boundaries are necessary, and it is important to be able to say “no” to children.

This

is the only way to help young people to regulate their desires and develop self-control. In my view, parents who do not the opposite and constantly give in to (
