Over-indulgence — raising someone (child or servant) with comfort but no correction, boundaries, or discipline — produces a person who eventually acts as though they have the rights of a superior. Kindness without structure is not kindness; it is a failure to prepare someone for life. True care includes both warmth and appropriate boundaries.
Memory phrase: Kindness needs boundaries too.
Talk about it: What can go wrong if someone is always treated with softness but never corrected?
Prayer: God, help me receive both love and correction from others.
