Parenting profoundly shapes adult emotional health and relational capacity. Harsh discipline fosters fear, insecurity, and resentment. Over-pampering prevents responsibility and creates entitlement that burdens future spouses. Parents absent due to work or ambition raise emotionally detached children who lack deep trust and love. Constant comparison breeds jealousy, low self-esteem, and competitive insecurity. Rigid, military-like parenting stifles emotion and the capacity to receive or express love. Parenting must nourish both body and soul to produce secure, responsible, and emotionally healthy adults rather than well-fed children with empty inner lives.
Marriage is beautiful, but parenting is one of its greatest assignments. Unfortunately, many adults today are damaged not by demons or destiny, but by the parenting style they were exposed to. As a marriage counselor, I've seen husbands and wives still bleeding from childhood, raising their own kids with inherited pain.Dear parents, parenting is a ministry. We must be careful not to produce well-fed children with empty souls. Below are 10 parenting styles that may look normal today, yet they produce broken adults tomorrow.
2. The Over-Pampering StyleThis looks like love, but it destroys. Children who are never corrected become adults who cannot take responsibility. They grow up thinking the world owes them everything. Tomorrow, their spouse suffers it. Overpampered boys become lazy husbands; overpampered girls become entitled wives. Both parents are pursuing money, ministry, or fame. The children are raised by house-helps, gadgets and cartoons. These kids grow up emotionally detached. They know their parents pay school fees, but they don't feel loved.
