Should you provide good education to children or pamper them with wealth?

I want to leave as much of wealth as I can for my daughter.And I will give her the best education and see that she is settled in a best job or profession.All the wealth I leave for her can be spent or dwindle.But the education and knowledge I give her cannot be taken away from her by any force.It is the most efficient too I am going to give to her.

hi every body i think that the wealth is ot every thing but the education is all thing because the education makes principes and man without principes will not have a peace in him self the money is o thing in front of the principes good luck

nice point zandi.i am willing to give a good education to my nieces and nephew but cant afford anymore but my litte girl is still in kinder garten and so many etc, we have strugle already how we live life comfortable.all are expensive and they said"save your life before others"

I definitely support good education. Because if you don't have good education and knowledge, no matter how much money u have in your bank a/c, chances are there that u can lose all that money but if you have good education you can earn money for your genaration as well... So, good knowledge is the key to earn money....and spending a good life...

I lil bit of pampering is OK,, but discipline ,and knowledge is more important

For the few days I am here,, This is the BEST ONE AS YET.........A child should be provided with the best possible education,, More than Half parents cannot ,, I couldn't give my children whatever they asked for whenever they wanted,, but I tried to provide whatever was important,,I wish them best,,but most important is that they are on their own feet now,, I fully agree and it reminds meeeeeeeeeee ,,not to bow down to all the needs they show,, let them enjoy by working for it now,, Kawal said soooooooooooooooooo

i would think a good education is important.money comes and goes but if you have a good education,i think one can survive anywhere in life..now we see parents fufilling every whims and fancies of their children and donot bother whether the are getting good and proper education or not.

We should provide better education if we can afford to. Better education can lay founding stone to a great career.It will ensure they can afford the luxury themselves when they earn more as they grow up.

Education is still the best give one can give to a child. When the child grows up, knowledge from education is what he/she can bring with them wherever they go. Nobody can ever take that away from them! I do not believe in pampering children with wealth. It has been proven that this can pose a problem later on and develop bratty kids who think they can get what they want ANYTIME. If they get good education, then they can be wealthy and later on enjoy all of it. It is okay to reward them from time to time but not pamper them with such.

Well.I think children should provide good education than money.Money will come and money will go.But education,good morals we learn help you throughout the life.As you said children should also taught the value of hard work and earn honest money.Once they understand the importance of money and provided good education it is not difficult for them to earn money working hard.We also learned from parents about this.Happy mylotting..

Hi Zandi, If you ask the question to me my answer would be education for my kids. (For your information I would like to add that the education is also very costly now). I didn’t get any wealth from my parents but they provided education for me and I think which helps me to get the job and stand in my own legs. From my own experience I can tell that education is the best wealth we can give to our children. So let us provide them good education.

I do not believe in pampering children with wealth. There are far too many rich children around who just waste their lives partying. If I had money I would not be showering it on the children but I would use it to give them the best education I could and maybe even help them start out in life. But they need to learn to work for their money. Personally I think our entire society is wrong in the way it handles wealth. It is this attitude that leads to greed and greed leads to crime. I prefer the idea of a world where people can earn enough to be comfortable but not so much that they can use their wealth for power over others. We need to change our entire value system and bringing up children to be lazy and rich is not the way to do it.

Should we provide a good education for our children? Absolutely! Next to the love we give them, NOTHING is more important! The world of tomorrow rests on their shoulders, and a good education is the difference between succeeding, or being a charity burdon on the rest of society. For the spoiled brats who blow money foolishly and threaten their parents? Once the gravy train runs out, I have one thing to say to them. "Life isn't fair, suck it up!"

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji, I am very clear in my concept that everyone must be provided with good education and not pampered with money. If person is well educated, one will find out ways to earn money for oneself. But good education starts right after the birth of child. "Mother is Nursary for any child" I would request you to go through an article on this : Log ON : http://www.kcea.com/position/good_education/ [b]"Considering how much it costs us, and considering that our children and grandchildren spend so much time at it, one would think that we adults would give more thought to it . Even worse, despite all of the contemporary (and constant) talk about "reforming" education, the basic components have not changed. The politicians of today, and the typical educator, make it sound like education is so complex that regular citizens would find it hopeless to try to comprehend it. However, a quick review of your family dictionary will bring you a pleasant surprise. One common dictionary says simply: "Education -- The process of training and developing the knowledge, mind, character, etc., especially by formal schooling." Notice, please, that the definition of "education" will naturally lead you to think of some common synonyms. My thesaurus reads: "Education -- edification, instruction, study, schooling, direction, tutelage, training."[/b] May God bless you and have a great time.

I don't know - I work with several people who own their own businesses, and so have quite a bit of money. They do pay a lot for their kids' education, but correspondingly, these kids have to work hard - they have to get good grades, help with the family business, and be active in sports. I don't think that just because a person has a lot of money it means they are not teaching their kids good values.

Not a darn thing thats for sure. I have always stressed that my kids need to work and earn and spend wisely. We never gave our kids cars or anything really big ike that I told them if they wanted one they had to work for it. My youngest son would get out and help people on the camp greounds we lived in for awhile waiting on a job. The people he helped sometimes would give him money and he would keep it till he got up enough to buy what he wanted. I remeber one couple had bought a smal Catus and asked him to keep it in the sun while they were gone and they promiced 25 cents. but in the end they gave him 50 cents. Daughter would offer to take care of kids for couples. think only one couple took her up on it. But then we were right there to help lol

Times are changing. People have much more than they had before. The children don't have to work hard to have what they want like their parents did. They are being taught to expect the world on a plate and that they can have what they want...isn't this a positive thing? Haven't we come a very long way and left behind all the pain and heartache of our parents time and moved into the better place they created for us where we can be more affluent and have our wants and needs automatically taken care of? People with brains will not only give their offspring wealth but they will see to it that their children will be very well educated in the best schools where they will meet the best people an so proliferate the theme. Human nature will always see many people remain lazy and therefore poor and their offspring will remain poor....but they will still be better off than the poor folk of yesteryear.

I think parents, wealthy or other-wise, do their children a disservice by not teaching them 'money sense'or a 'work ethic'. We all need to learn that life's pleasantries don't come free. When my children wanted expensive trainers or designer jeans or equally frivolous things I used to say they could have them, if they earned the 'extra' cost themselves. That way I wasn't refusing to buy clothes they might need, I was just refusing to pay exorbitant prices for them. I pointed out to them that we weren't given the money but had to work hard for it, and that eventually they'd have to earn their own way. I tried to encourage them to always question the need for what they wanted too. It was the way my parents brought me up. Now as adults they manage their money far better than their father who was never made to work for what he wanted. A friend of mine was from a wealthy family but he was made to work for what he wanted too and he was made to wait for his inheritance till he was 30! By then he'd learnt to earn his own money so appreciated his wealth more.

hello,there! I think We should give children fishing gears instead of giving them a lot of fish constantly.teaching them the way of living by themselves is much more important than just arranging everything for them. It's necessary not to pamper them too much.

I highly support good education if not for equality for both. Showing children that you love them by providing what they need once in a while is good enough. Exceeding that would spoil their minds and would never serve a higher purpose in life. Though being too strict to children doesn't always show good results as by the time they grow up they'll sure to bear grudges against their parents. Show them who the boss is but also show them that you are a person whom they can trust and that you'll surely lend them your ears. Children usually fear their parents thus you'll be surprised by what would happen next. Give them a comfortable life but never paradise. Show them that you care and that your actions are for their betterment. Equally is always the best.
