Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, famously known as Mama G, has advised parents not to give their children a comfortable and relaxing life. She warned parents not to over-pamper them as it may affect their future.

The actress noted that wealthy parents who don’t allow their children to experience hardship may end up doing more harm than good.

She said that parents should not deliberately subject their children to suffering, but should allow them experience life challenges so as to understand the hard means to achieve success.

“One way when you say, I don’t want my children to suffer what I suffered when I was growing up You see, that’s the best way to destroy your children.

I’m not saying allow them to suffer, what I’m saying is allow them to struggle. Go through the process.”

According to her, children who grow in wealth without passing through the challenges in acquiring wealth will fight over their parents’ properties.

“When you keep the things that you have and let them know that, ‘You go get yours, this is mine.”

She stressed the importance of teaching children how to work hard to attain success and allowing them to experience the hard side of life so as to make them appreciate what they have.

Mama G has also revealed how she made it clear to her son that he should not depend on her wealth, rather work for his own and build his own life.

“But when you pamper them, they don’t come out to be anything.

I told my son, My house isn’t yours, go and work for your own.”

The actress claimed that children who come from wealthy homes can even be more successful than their parents when they are properly trained and taught how to achieve success for themselves.
