Consequences of Raising Spoiled Children
Article: What Happens When a Child Is Spoiled?
How does a child become spoiled?
Being a parent is one of the most challenging jobs you can have. When a child is
spoiled, they may be very dependent, irresponsible, defiant, and disrespectful. Being
a parent is one of the most challenging jobs you can have. Every parent wants to
show their kids love and provide
the best life has to offer, but over-
indulgent parenting may spoil your children, which has long-lasting negative effects.
Parenting with the best intentions for your child may not always turn out as you hope.
If you find yourself frequently falling back on these approaches to parenting, you
might notice your children becoming more spoiled.
Pampering
It’s natural to want your children to be happy, but giving them everything they ask
for can cause long-term problems. Pampering your child
leaves an impression of
entitlement. If they come to expect that you will give in to their every request, they
may never learn to be grateful for what you and other people do for them.
Being overprotective
Overprotective parents often spoil their children. Children who grow up under a lot
of restrictions may develop an unhealthy attitude towards people
in authority and
rules, and can end up acting out more than their peers.
Constantly bailing out your child
By solving all of a child's problems, parents can keep them from learning how to
deal with the consequences of their actions. Without this skill, your children may not
learn how to take responsibility and plan their actions appropriately.
Failing to follow up on punishments
Conversely, when you set expectations for
consequences and punishments, it’s
essential to stick to them. Empty threats of punishment can prevent kids from fully
feeling remorse and taking responsibility for their actions.
Are your children spoiled?
Every child is bound to act up once in a while, but how does it differ from being
spoiled? There are a few warning signs that will help you in determining if you have
a spoiled child.
