A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford

Summary

This quote suggests that both children and our stomachs have certain limits when it comes to consumption. Just as we should not overfeed our stomachs with more food than they actually need, we should also not overwhelm children with excessive or unnecessary material possessions. It implies that children, like our stomachs when it comes to food, should be given what is essential and sufficient for their well-being and development, rather than indulging them with everything we can afford to provide. It highlights the importance of moderation and wise choices in parenting and nurturing our children.
