In Luke 15:18:
The child that grew up via the extreme love of entitlement (entitled to get the things he wants from his parents) without working hard for them,
faces the hardships (harsh punishements, negative circumstances, judgements) of the world,
and he decides to return to his father and learn how to be a humble servant.

Luke 15:17-19:
17 “But when he came to himself,
he said,
‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
The prodigal son returns to be a servant, not a son who is entitled:
Luke 15:18-19
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”
Children who get spoild are children who grew up with an extreme type of love,
that gave them things, and rewards because they were entitled.
But if we are going to train our children and equip them with the discipline,
and good manners which will turn them into positive future leaders and parents,
we need to reward the good work, and hard labour of team work, helping out around the house,
the obedience and respect that they show towards their parental leadership,
and the fulfilment of their responsibilities that they carry out at home, and on a community level.
What type of identity do your children carry in your community?
What our children become in our community is a reflection of the moral (positive),
or immoral (negative) traits deriving from their family.
