Is liberal parenting ruining children?

I say the younger generations worship instant gratification, whereas the older generations didn’t and also expected to work hard and appreciated what they had.

Introduction“And when the female infant (Al-Maw\’udah) buried alive is questioned, for what sin she was killed!” (Surah 81, al takwir: 8-9).
