Parents face difficult choices

PARENTHOOD demands a lot of responsibilities.

It is very difficult for parents to know when it is right to be strict with a child and when it is correct to be lenient.

Parents who are too strict can stop a child thinking for himself.

Those who are too lenient can risk spoiling the child.

It is important to try and strike the right balance, so that a child can grow up to be well adjusted, well-disciplined and obedient.
