About this Quote

This quote by Samuel Richardson is a suggestion of the value of parenting and how it can form the future of a kid. It recommends that how a kid is dealt with in their early years can have an enduring influence on their future. If a kid is indulged and enabled to do whatever they want, they might develop a sense of entitlement and do not have the discipline and self-discipline required to be effective in life. On the other hand, if a kid is inspected and taught to regard limits, they might establish the self-control and strength required to be effective. Eventually, the way a child is dealt with in their early years can have a long lasting influence on their future joy and success.
