My sister sent me this video. It’s funny illustrating the difference between an American Mom, and Pusthun Mom.
I used to be niggardly with praise, believing that too much praise spoil a child. He, or she starts thinking highly of themselves. One has to be just right, not very lavish, or at the opposite end — stingy.
Children who are not praised ends up with little self esteem. They may be the most brilliant among their lot, lose confidence in themselves, and grow up to be timid. At the other hand mothers who see nothing wrong in their brats’s behavior contributes towards their offensive attitudes.
I agree with your point. As a parent, it is all up to us to either mold or break our child’s abilities.
And I’m trying my best not to be like that Pashtun Mom for sure 🙂
