The virtuous teacher thank you for inviting me to answer the question should distinguish between spoiled spoiled and spoiled with respect and limits not every child spoiled bad, but the difference in the type of pampering there are children spoiled recklessly and children spoiled with respect we have to spoil our children and not harden them and at the same time limit this The pampering does not exceed the child in any way
A parent knows her child more than anyone else. And if that is the case then ask yourself what happened along the way when the child is not shown right from wrong. Because it is important for any parent to review their actions when bringing up children. Parents never give in to their children but show them boundaries. If they fail to recognise a boundary then they are made to sit down across with you and discuss the problem to associate it learn from it and be better. You do not penalise the child on the contrary you take away something he or she loves very much maybe the playstation for a short while till he shows improvement. But always give feedback to your child when he has done well for himself, if he has not then show disapproval and see the difference. Re-assure your children always and they will be little gems , sparkling gems indeed...Soon a spoilt child changes and surprises you. Parenting is not easy and if someone says it is - you have to see the person on a 1-2-1 basis on any given day.
When me or one of my siblings acted up, we were put in our place immediately. We quickly learned what was acceptable behaviour and what wasn’t. And I’m thankful for this. I’m thankful for the upbringing I had. I’m thankful I was taught to be grateful, thankful I was taught screaming would get me nowhere, thankful I was taught that I couldn’t have my own way all the time.
I was surrounded by spoiled kids at school though. Spoiled with things, and spoiled in the sense that they always got their own way. They got what they wanted, when they wanted. Their parents gave into their every whim. In many instances, I can remember parents actually being afraid of what their kids would do should they say no. So they never did say no and their kids practically ran wild. The teachers had little more control. Unsurprisingly, the spoiled kids also happened to be the bullies.
