"Masking risk, cost and consequence creates an illusory world that eventually crashes on the unforgiving rocks of reality. Anyone
who knows parents who have spoiled their kids has stories that beggar
the imagination of those who have no choice but to live in the real
world. In one such instance within our circle of friends, the daughter
who was caught shoplifting told her Mom that she did not want to go to
court, and Mom had to do something so she wouldn't have to face any
consequence from her actions.
This 16-year old apparently believed that Mommy could push risk, cost and consequence aside in all cases; even the law should give way if it proved inconvenient or painful."
What ever happened to "Spare the rod and spoil the child"?
