This can be achieved if the parents are exemplary. Children imitate the parents.

Reminds me of a relative who is a doctor and has half a dozen sthethoscopes, BP instruments and weighing scales, when I ask where is the need for this , she says she likes to have at least half dozen of everything so that it is close at hand ...Her son has similar taste, dozens of sports shoes, which clutter the house and expensive badminton rackets etc etc...I know it is their money and they can afford to spend but it somehow reflects bad taste and a lax attitude where there is no value for things !

If the parental affection is boundless, the miseries brought by affection are also boundless.
