I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children college education.If they can __70__ it, they can certainly send them to the best universities.But they must not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go, they’ll find a __71__.There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager ones who can’t afford to pay.
When children grow up and want to __72__, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house.They do not have the duty to baby-sit their grandchildren.If they want to do it, it must be considered a __73__ not an obligation.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children a personal __74__.A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so __75__, so afraid of failing that he (or she) won’t try at all.Of course they should be __76__ corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves __77__.All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate them and give them chances to try and fail.They must learn to stand __78__.When criticisms are really needed, they should be __79__ with praises, with a smile and a kiss.That is the way children learn.
