The most important thing is a faith that they can fall back on when times get tough in their life. I know lots of people who never had a knowledge of God and when things happened to them they broke. I know a few people who have killed themselves because of it.

This is true that parents generally say that their children should be in comfort condition, and whatever they are earning is for the children. To some extent it may be right thinking of parents, but so far I am concerned, we should make the children learn how to get the sources by hard work so as to make them independant. We should not fulfill the wishes of children every time. Some times they should be realised by saying no. I read in the paper about Dhiru Bhai Ambani, the owner of Reliance, that while travelling by local train during early years of his business-life, he denied his sons,when they were not so young, for buying vada-paav (eatable)which was very cheap at that time. According to him, he wanted his sons to be strong, to know the value of money. Parents are undoubtedly earning, for their family and children, but it should not be exposed/explained before children,so that children become effortless for their future.It doesn't mean that I am critising children. When a child learns the value of money,it is said he has started, thinking to make money.

Situation A: child is raised in nice house, 2 cars, plenty of food in the fridge, all the toys, gameboys, bikes, etc he could want. Parents both work to keep this going and the kid has a babysitter.
Situation B: child is raised in small house by mom, dad goes to work, 1 job, they live with 2 used cars, have basic meals, nothing fancy. But teach the child about the Bible, about life, love, respect, honesty and spend time with the child daily.
Which would you rather have in society as an adult?
A person that came from a nice house and had it all and most likely will want more n more n more to keep this feeling.
Or a person that doesn't care about anything material and is more worried about all those around them, and to help them.

They're not doing wrong coz in today's world money is considered important than any other thing. It's not their fault, but this kind of mentality prevails very much today & the parents are not unaffected from getting this kind of mentality as the most beloved thing of any living being is his child.
But money isn't every thing and they shud try to give some of their time alongwith the 'money',
time to understand their children, their needs, becoming their friends, educating them, making them learn some very important things or jewels of life like honesty, truth, respecting elders, loving youngers and overall these always being conscious towards 'GOD', HIS importance, etc.
Parents are needed to be guided in this direction coz earning money is not just their duty
towards their kids or other members.

If you mean comfort as in food, shelter, and clothes (not top of the line).. then I definitely think that parents should do their best to provide that.
Have you ever heard of Maslow's hieracrchy of needs? Based on this, we can only get to the next level, if the needs before it are met. Comfort the way I defined it above, is at the bottom.
I think along with these basic needs--parents also need to instill certain values: respect for life, love of learning, etc.

I do sense that it really is needed to for both moms and dads to be in a youthful ones life. it really is in effortless words extra stability for a baby yet i am going to say being that i turned right into a baby who's father left at 12, I became out tremendous, so as that does no longer advise that in simple terms because a baby don't have a father that they are going to be a "****" or a "thug". some thugs and sluts come from the acceptable 2 discern houses. all of it falls decrease back on how u are raised even if by a million or 2 moms and dads!

I feel the best that parents can give his child is a realization of the "transient" nature of life ...and imbibing in the child the truth of life in the hereafter. And in the belief in the Almighty ...
Once a child believes that that he is accountable for his deeds in this world, his/her way of reacting to the pressures of present "materialistic" world would most probably change for the good and love for fellow humans would rise. Thus creating a peaceful and equal world.

The most important things to give children are your love, your time, your good example and some boundaries with consistent and reasonable discipline. The Bible says that having sustenance and covering should make all of us content and that would include children as well,

The best thing a parent can give to their children as young as possible is the teachings of Jesus Christ and a Bible that they can read. As they get older they will go to the Lord for answers. I wish I had done this to all of mine, but being raised catholic didn't help. I was not saved. Now as a born again Christian I am trying to teach it to my teenagers which is alot harder. Teenagers have a mind of their own, and little kids listen to parents.

Parents, I think, are ultimately striving to provide opportunities for their kids and the tools they will need to succeed as adults. For some that means tutors or private schools, for others it means travel or boarding school, still others want to home school and get tools and take trips that will educate. Still more money is spent on organic food over regular food, rent in safer neighborhoods and saving for our own retirement so that we will not be a burden on our children.
I don't think any of us are trying to raise little princes or to over protect or insulate our kids - but when you have a lot of money you have more than wealth, you have options and opportunities. It is perfectly natural for anyone to want the very best for their children, don't you think?
Peace!
