We don't grow when life is easier but we grow when life is hard

[Dunamisx]

Tough situation in life is not to weigh us down, instead they are to build us up and give us the courage to continue with life and learn to know what we benefit and what could be in danger for us, some things are better experienced than when being told we don't seem to understand or believe them, what we toiled and labor for seem to be valuable to us than the one that comes at ease as we don't seem to appreciate on what we freely get than struggling to have them.

Many of the rich men children don't grow the way they are meant to be because they see everything coming to them once they mention what they want and some time if the father notices early that this particular child will not do well because of too much pampering and the mother will claim that father is too hard on that particular child and without the mother knowing that the father want the best for the child, and most the rich men children end up growing out from the plan the father have for them once they have the opportunity to stay alone while going through high school, and once such is giving to they will doing clubbing and taking hard drugs without attending any of the licture any day because his father money, while the poor children grow well even things are hard and grap every little opportunity they have in the high school and they take lictures more serious because they know their family background and has been motivating them to be more serious in school, inclusion i advise that parents are in the best position to know in which child that is growing in the wrong direction and such child should be corrected immediately when he/she is a kids and avoid too much pampering when you know on what to do when the child did wrong and parents don't fail to apply such caution that will help your children in future when they have come to ages.

Children wether rich or poor can grow up to be waywards, their background is not really an issue, the most important thing is the way they where raised while growing up. When parents don't give proper attention to their children behavior, the society pays the price. I don't have any problem with Children that where born into privilege homes, that is what destiny has given to them, but when it comes to going astray, any child can do that, people focus more of the privilege children but forget that the chances of a privilege child to go astray is less higher than that of a poor child.

It is important to know that it is not only to the poor that goes through hard times in life, as we are made to understand that.
The rich in some areas also go through hard time like the rich kid don't have the opportunity to move freely like the poor kid for security reasons which can also be a hard time for the rich kids.
The things that are responsible for racing a wayward child either from the rich or poor family is lack of care and attention not given to the child. Every child needs parental attention, most importantly when they need someone to talk to and share there feeling with.
This can make them fall into wrong hands while looking for attention at all cost. Failure to discipline a child when they commit offense that deserves punishment. Believing money can solve everything a child needs, may lead them making wrong decisions in life.

Not really, its majorly depends on upbringing and also on the individual's ability and wants to build a life for himself. I've seen a wealthy man with many children but it's only one of his sons that decided to build something for himself, others felt that their fathers wealth will sustain them throughout their lives and ends up being poor after their fathers death. I've also seen children from a poor background, they don't have much but the mother works hard and ensures they all eat to their full and never go hungry, these children continues to stay with their mother eating her food even as adults and have nothing tangible for themselves. I think both parents lacks to give these children the proper orientation and motivation as they keep on making them comfortable in their fathers houses. If given the proper motivation and orientation from when they're small these children would have come up otherwise regardless of their backgrounds

Majority of the rich parents now a days, have it in their minds that their children will not suffer the way them experienced and in my opinion it's a very good idea. But even if they don't want their children to face the kind of their challenges, as parents you should try your possible best and give your child even little disciplines that you too acquire from your own parents. Because lack of respect and other key good morals, hardly you will see rich man child take lead or adapt with some of difficult life situations.

For a good parent always teach, prove, and show to your on how to make it life rather than fully depend on your assets, because once they discover that you guys always provide whatever they need, they will not have focus on things that can improve their quality life. For example, knowledge is something that's very important in life and you can not just wake up give it to your child, until you prove it to him /her on how things are going.

[Akbarkoe]

Good analogy, here is an interesting conversation.
 
Difficult times will make a person forced to be strong, because they have to face many problems and solve them so that they become a very strong person.
 
Likewise, entrepreneurs who build their strength from Zero, they will be much stronger than entrepreneurs who only get inheritance, usually until the third generation a company is built will be in its prime, but when it falls to the fourth generation who in their lifetime did not get the test like the first and second builders who made it strong, it will be much weaker.

Those that expect things to work out right for them always is not ready to face the realty of life. Situations must surely come, how we respond to them is what makes us a better person. Every situation is there to teach us how life is, we learn from the mistake, learn how to be a better person no matter how other humans treat us. This is how life is meant to be.

In the midst of everything, some people cannot withstand situation when they come. Some drop dead, while others get depressed.

Most of the majority in the society today fail to understand the fact that, for someone to experience changes in his/her the both genders need to make a move, because life leaving under your parents sometimes do make some majority of people in the society looks so lazy, on till life treat then in such away that their both parents that has been providing for everything is no more on this earth,  so after then, life will start being hard on them, is when they decide to take a steps of pushing to see if they can grow out from the hard time, my advise to all youths that have come up to the stage of being able taking care of yourself, it will not be bad to start doing something that will be earning you money, after school you might finish your everything concerning school. It is not a bad idea to work after school period. So the mentality of trying to do something different one when life turns to be hard on, so matter how rich your parents is, don't depend on that alone, start pushing consistently the moment you know that you need earn your own money.

Let's not just say the rich kids because most poor kids forgets their backgrounds and where they are coming from and starts misbehaving. Most upbringing depends on the parents and guidance, most rich kids where popular trained and possess good characters while most poor kids who their parents tried their best in raising them still turn out to be wayward despite the disciplines and sacrifices been made for them. In most high school, the people who misbehaves is those coming from a poor home and they do that due to peer pressure, they want to belong, and they want to prove to a girl that they can take care of them. Most of them go the length of using their school fees to take care of a girl knowing fully well that their parents suffered and struggle hard to earn the money.

There are rich kids who don't misbehave because they have everything they want. Despite the money and fame, some still want to build their future by themselves and make their parents and society proud. So are some poor kids too that  are well trained, that knows how life is, they strive to become the best and build a better future for themselves.

[Lida93]

I have many kids I know from rich families that are grown now and doing great and breaking barriers in their life even with all the childhood pampering they received from their parents. That I want to discipline my kids shouldn't add up to me denying them a soft life and making them have to make choices for what they want at different moments. Discipline mustn't come in the hard approach you might likely be making the child get used to some of the punishments you giving to the extend he doesn't get scared at receiving them. Ay this break point you've created another problem you'll have to deal with I'm future.

[Vod]

Young kids today are not entitled - that annoying habit take years.   Rich or poor, the children act up because they have not yet experienced consequences.

We don't grow when life is easier but we grow when life is hard


Except that sometimes life is so hard that we die before we have a chance to grow.

[Bigjoe33]

It all deepends on the child up bringing. I have seen rich people that their children are cool headed and very humble in the society. They take over their father business at a young age after they have graduated from the university. Haven't you seen a poor man child that became a nuisance to the society. This is why it's good to bring up your child in a God fearing way and let them be full devoted to God for guidance.

Yea, I sure agree with you because it's not all about money, but about training. Sometimes too, there are rich people children that do well I'm school, and also graduate with high grades. And there are also some poor men children that don't also do well in school and become a school drop out. So at the end, if all things been equal, it's lagerly depends on the kind of training given to the child and the environment where the child grows.

[BADecker]

We don't grow when life is easier but we grow when life is hard


If that is true, why don't we see many more people walking around who are older than 100?

I think what the op is talking about is that hard times build you up and makes you stronger than good times. And not the other way round. A child that grew up in a comfortable environment where everything surrounds him swill never know how life is hard out there, and if such kid grew and go out to the society he will be lazy and may not be productive except he learns it later. Unlike a child that grew in an environment where things are hard, he may adapt to any environment and nothing will be difficult for him in life . And this illustration works perfectly well with Rich and poor children but I am not saying that all rich children are lazy but majority of them are. I grew up where things are hard and it made me strong and Become a man I am today. I believe that is what he is saying.

You are very correct that tough situation doesn't weigh us down but prepare us to be stronger to be able withstand pressure even when we seem to be tired and when will slow down much, life reminds us quickly to keep pushing to produce a good result. And some cases, people miss use when they have a better opportunity when life are easy on them, the most influence people in this society that fine life easier from the birth to their adult stages, is those that are born in with silver spoon, and some of them end up causing problems there and there for the parents because of their parents money which has influenced some them end committing crimes, and those that grow with life so hard on them never fail one day to stop pushing just make different and they are able to grow well, by producing a better future for the family from a hard situation.

[Dunamisx]

Some people believed that tough situations don't last but tough people do, we should not expect life to come without challenges, we have to be prepared for all these, they serve as a preparatory stage for us to get to where we are going, as some of these challenges serve as experience to build and prepare us for the higher tasks ahead.

[Queen uloma]

You are very correct, many of the rich men children cannot face the kind of struggle that poor men children face. Their parents neglect disciplining them or to be hardworking the reason is because they all have everything available. I have a friend whom parents are so rich but he doesn’t know the value of hard work, patience or respect because everything he wants his parents provide it for him. Just as you have said, some fathers noticed that their children are going into the wrong direction, but they can’t correct them, they would think that they’re wicked. They won’t see that good intentions. For me good parenting is not just about providing everything. A child needs. But it is to guide and discipline when necessary. Any child that came from a poor home always take his education serious because he knows where he’s coming from and he wants a better future why some rich man kids misuse opportunity because they have it all and they think there’s no need for them to be hard-working.

The poor have to struggle more financially than the rich. Due to which there is a general idea that maybe if you have money or are rich, no one will face problems. If you are poor, there are more obstacles and problems. However, not all problems are mainly financial, mental and social problems can also arise in our lives. Life can never be considered completely problem-free based on financial status. You are right, in fact, the responsibility of parents is not fulfilled only by providing for the child. Understanding the mental needs of the child and accordingly providing him with mental support is also important. Just as disciplining the child is important, disciplining him excessively can have a negative impact on him. Therefore, for the proper development of the child, a balanced environment is needed where he gets nourishment, mental support, right advice, right discipline in a balanced manner. And the family's behavior with the child has a big impact in the long run, so if the child gets positive behavior, the effect of positive behavior will be more in him. Similarly, if he grows up with negative behavior, negative behavior will have a greater impact on him in the future.
