Question

Some reasons for debate why should parents pamper their child

Answer 1

Should parents be strict all the time or should they let their children freely do what they wish to? This depends on the parents thinking and their decision as to how they want to bring up their child. Therefore, I Sapna speak in favour of the motion ‘Spare the rod and spoil the child’.

It is true that if a parent decides to treat their children with extreme softness even when they are doing wrong then it won’t take much time to spoil him/her. Being a strict parent is good for the children in the long run as it helps in inculcating a sense of discipline in them. This discipline might be out of fear but when the child grows and looks back at time, he/she will realise how helpful that discipline was for them. In a similar way, even they will take to nurturing their child with the same discipline. In this way, generation after generation will have the same kind of etiquettes and manners. It is not only the responsibility of schools to inculcate good habits in a child but equally important for the parents to be attentive.

This system is no wrong because if it was such then why is strictness allowed in schools? Only new rules include that the child should not be beaten in any form because teachers were taking advantage of it to let out personal grudges. But parents have the rationality to decide what is best for their child and will always take a good decision even if it is severe for the child at that point.
