CHILD'S TRAINING: If we are a kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our kid(s)?

Train up a child in the way He should grow and when his old he will not depart from it. An untrained child will be the one to sell the riches (money, ornaments, houses, shares, power, good name and so on) procured at the expense of his/her training.

One young academically and brilliant young man went to apply for a
> managerial position in a company. He passed the first round interview
> and proceed to the final round where the director of the company will
> conduct and take final decision. 
> The director discovered from the CV that the young man's academic
> achievements were excellent from the secondary school till the
> postgraduate. There was never a year he did not score A+. The
> director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" he
> answered "no". The director asked, "Was it your father who paid for
> your school fees?" He said, "My father passed away when I was one year
> old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees. The director
> asked, " Where did your mother work?" The young man answered, "My
> mother worked as clothes cleaner.
> 
> The director requested the youth to show his hands. The young showed a
> pair of his hands that were smooth and perfect.
> 
> The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the
> clothes before?" The young man answered, "Never, my mother always
> wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can
> wash clothes faster than me. The director said, "I have a request.
> When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see
> me tomorrow morning.
> 
> The young man felt that his chance of landing the job is high. When he
> got home, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands.
> His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings. She showed
> him her hands.
> 
> The young man cleaned his mother's hands slowly. Tears fell as he did
> that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so
> wrinkled, and there were so many bruises on her hands. Some bruises
> were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with
> water.This was the first time the young man realized that it was this
> pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him pay his
> school fees. The bruises on the mother's hands were the price the
> mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his
> future. After cleaning his mother's hands, the young man quietly
> washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
> 
> That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. Next morning,
> the young man went to the director's office. The Director noticed the
> tears in his eyes and, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and
> learned yesterday in your house?"The young man answered, " I cleaned
> my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining
> clothes'
> 
> The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings. The young man
> said, (1), I now know what is appreciation. Without my mother, I would
> not be successful today. (2) by working together and helping my
> mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something
> done. (3) I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family
> relationship.
> 
> The director said, " Those are what I am looking for in whoever will
> be a manager in my company. I want to recruit a person who can
> appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of
> others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his
> only goal in life. You are hired.
> 
> Later in life this young man worked hard, and win the respect of his
> subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The
> company's performance improved tremendously.
> 
> A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he needs
> would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself
> first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts
> work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he
> becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees
> and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be
> good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would
> not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred
> and fight for more.

> If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love
