with, there are many advantages to this
message. A responsible and hardworking personality is the main key benefit, as it can serve as a growth mindset for individual development in both career and personal life. For example

mindset could help them learn by themselves, resulting in higher grades in school. Additionally
, in their future life, reaching a higher salary position in their workplace requires a lot of responsibility and effort which could be an advantage if they can learn this
from an early age. Another benefit is self-rewarding, achieving the goal by putting in strong effort offers self-fulfilment, leading to a positive learning process for children and becoming a valuable lesson.

In conclusion, this
teaching message from parents provides several advantages for their children such
as responsibility, growth mindset, hardworking personality and self-rewarding. However
, this
can bring some drawbacks including misleading, low self-esteem and depression. Therefore
, parents should take responsibility for proper guidance to minimize the side effects.Submitted by sippakorn.wet on
