Summary

This quote suggests that the way a child is treated and guided during their formative years can greatly influence their future happiness or suffering. If a child's foolishness is indulged, meaning their trivial or immature behavior is allowed without correction, it may set a foundation for unhappiness in adulthood. Conversely, if a child's follies are checked, meaning they are corrected and guided towards more mature behavior, it can lay the groundwork for a happier future. This highlights the importance of proper nurturing and guidance in shaping a person's overall well-being.
