Ghanaian businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo has warned that overindulging children could lead to their failure as adults, arguing that many parents today are too lenient.
Speaking in an interview with TV XYZ on Thursday, 13th March, Agongo said that raising strong and responsible individuals requires discipline, not excessive comfort. "I think most parents are not strong.
They easily give up," he said. "At the end of the day, I'm training my child to one day take over from me, and you can't train a child by pampering them." He emphasised that children should be exposed to life's challenges to help them develop problem-solving skills. "You should let them understand difficulties.
Once there are difficulties, you think of alternative solutions," he explained.
