Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, has warned parents that over-pampering their children could affect their ability to become responsible and independent adults.
Speaking about parenting, wealth and inheritance, Ozokwor said parents should allow their children to experience challenges and work for what they want, instead of making everything available to them.
“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,” she said.
The actress clarified that she was not asking parents to deliberately make their children suffer, but urged them to let them struggle and understand the process of building their own lives.
