I feel the essence of "Right kind of Parenting" can be distilled into the following two sentences:
"We want to indulge our children but not spoil them. We want to give them the opportunities that were denied to us but don’t want them to feel entitled."
It is true that Growing Children, especially the Boys, are susceptible to Peer Pressure, which Modifies (and some times Warps) their Behaviour. I think the Parents must be Conscious and Wary of their Kids' Peers, and, if they cannot Select or (De-select) the Peers, they must, at least, try to make their own kids either Immune, or at least Resistant, to such Peer Pressures, in their formative years. They can probably do this by Instilling a Sense of Pride (without being Arrogant) in their children, in What They Are, and What They Have, and Convincing them about the Cheapness and Cowardice of Aping or Envying others! They should Equip and Counsel their kids to become Models, rather than Mimics, to others! And the Earlier (the Parents Start this Exercise), the Better!!
