With regard to the article "Every parent's nightmare" (Mar. 13), if the job of parenting is to raise children who are ultimately good, kind, responsible citizens who fulfill their unique potential as they contribute to the betterment of society, then making sure our children are not spoiled is an important component of our duties. Not only that, raising children who are not spoiled means that we enjoy the company of our children, and spend our time together having less conflict and more fun. Children are a gift from Allah, if guided they can help us now and in the future. Ismaeel. Marikar, Online response
