Parents should consider the context in which the decision needs to be made in order to correctly make a decision. Vaccinations, may cause a fear in some children as it can be a painful experience for the child, but as studies develop the immunity of children to diseases are much stronger compared to unvaccinated children. Another example would be to have the child wait for gifts instead of feeding to their demands in that instant. This type of parenting may hurt the child in the short term as they feel like their emotional needs are not being validated, but in the long term the child is being taught patience for good things to come, in this case, a gift.
