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 grow older

It seems argued that most
parents
provide their children with everything they desire and
also
grant them the liberty to carry out decisions without supervising them.
This
essay will discuss why I believe

For instance
