There were two neighbours who both started a vegetable garden.
One of the neighbours always gave his plant a lot of water and looked after them very well, they did not need anything at all.
The other neighbour just gave his plants a very little bit of water every day.
The neighbour who gave his plants a lot of water thought the other neighbour was very lazy by giving them so little water although they grew well.
He never said anything but was very proud of his garden. One night there came the most terrible storm and it really rained a lot. The next morning they both went to look at their gardens.
The one who gave a lot of water had lost his plants as they all came loose from their roots and all came out of the ground.
The neighbour who had always just given a little bit of water everyday did not have any trouble as his plants were standing strong and looked beautiful.
The other neighbour could not understand and said I looked after my plants so much better than you why did my plants not survive and the man said.
My plants had to fight for every drop I gave them and they had to learn to survive.
That is the same with our children; never do everything for them teach them the basics, and let them learn from that.
If you spoil your children and think for them as these small plants to learnt to fight their way through life they will never give up.
It you do not teach your children to think for themselves and work things out they will never learn because they will all be waiting for help instead of finding the right way to get everything back to normal. We must really love our children, and if we do we will help them to go through life by learning and making mistakes. If you always just help they will never learn to think for themselves and that is very sad.
Children should start very young to do things for themselves and you can help them in the right direction, but never do it for them as they have to find their own way in life. The only way your child will learn is by struggling sometimes to find their own way. But once they are grown up they will always remember how you taught them to think for themselves and get out of a situation in a nice way as they had learnt that a long time ago.
Children who are always helped when they struggle and just give up will go trough life struggling forever as they never learned to think for themselves.
I really hope you liked my story and have a wonderful day from me.
