Speaking exercise

In my country most young people they are only child of the family, when they are growing they have two parents and grandparents to take care of them. Most of them don’t know how to share things with other children. And their parents or grand parents always do what young people want to do ( do what the children want to do ), Like buying somethings. The old love the children too much, they fulfill / spoil / pamper like that, they fulfill any request from the children.  I think parents should not only teach their child the lessons but also let them take over it. I think 6 is the best age, because when a child is 6 he needn’t go to school and he can enjoy his childhood and just like playing all the day. In my country to be a leadership in the young age is not okay but a person get the power for a long time is okay. Like get the power from 45 and he can own the power for 20 or 30 years.
