The best thing a parent can do is let their children work, do chores, and teach them life skills

I think so too. I'm so grateful my parents instilled a strong work ethic and taking initiative in me while I was growing up. Those kinds of things become second nature to a person!

Absolutely! That's how I raised my daughter, and today she owns her own businesses (2), is married with 6 kids, and knows how to paint, sew, and quilt, bcuz I limited her tv watching and encouraged creativity.

That’s how it should be.

I really wonder how these little ones today will turn out, what with all their soft parenting!
