My parents would always support me regardless of if I needed it. They were just generous people. They were always of the mindset that generosity was not necessarily part of the lesson on hard work. I had money and still studied and still had a job and always worked hard in everything I do. Simply buying things for children and not teaching them about finances, hard work and education might be a bad lesson for kids.
That in my opinion is the most important lesson I learned growing up - you must work hard and pay attention to the details if you want to be successful in anything.
