In today’s world, many parents are unknowingly raising children who are emotionally fragile, undisciplined, and overly dependent—not because they don’t care, but because they’ve misunderstood what true parenting means.

This piece challenges readers to rethink parenting norms and calls for a return to discipline, quiet strength, and authentic responsibility.
