I believe that a parent should influence the child into having a healthy and open-mind mentality, you can always spoil your child if you made him understand what responsibility and manners are. A child looks up to his parents and family for a model in life and if he gets that example then you know for sure that he's going to follow it. Showing him what respect is by respecting others when he's around, teaching him that you must be kind to others and letting him get that independence, because every child has that moment when he wants to do things on his own.
  So I do agree with the post you wrote Hive account@sameer777 , kids shouldn't be pampered too much, they should be let to experience everything, gain confidence in themselves and learn from their mistakes.
