Have We Pampered Kids into Irresponsibility?

I recently watched a video by a respected Nigerian educator, Dr. Charles Akpoki. He warned: “We’re pampering children into stupidity.” Teens today often lack responsibility and respect for authority. They seem unaware of consequences. In our time, the whole community helped raise each child. Now parents can react strongly if you try to correct them. Where did we go wrong? How can we restore discipline for the next generation? Share your thoughts.

Do you think modern parenting styles have made teens less accountable compared to our community-driven upbringing in the past?

It's interesting that the bigger problem may not be pampering but shifting social structures that leave parents and elders with less influence.

I'm not convinced pampering is the main culprit; perhaps teachers and peer culture shape teen behavior more than home comforts.

Instead of withholding treats, we could set clear chores and responsibilities early, rewarding progress while teaching consequences step by step.
