Spoiling Is Not Good For Child
Posted January 14th, 2010 at 12:36PM
For my life, I had to work hard for everything. If I wanted something, I had to prove to my parents that I deserve it. I had to complete my chores to earn money. If I am bad, I get grounded, and my rewards is taken away from me.
Parents should not spoil their children. It does not teaches the value of responsibility, discipline, and hard work. If you just hand them stuff, the child will think they can be lazy. Unless it is Christmas or their birthday, they shouldn't receive stuff for free. Children needs to be punished when they are bad, and rewarded for good behavior. In addition, children needs flexible limits, like a minimum and maximum amounts for their gifts. This will teach them budgeting themselves. As the child grows older, their limits should increase.

Do you love your parents, and are you close with them now? Before I answer, I might need to know the answers to my questions. I believe in spoiling children with love.

I was raised by parents like yours and was expected to work for what I wanted. My parents grew up during the Great Depression so they had it more difficult than I could imagine. In their case it was not a question of working for the things YOU wanted, it was working to keep the family going. Many children dropped out of school to go to work because their parents were sick or were not able to earn sufficient income to feed the family. So I considered myself fortunate to be able to keep any money I earned and even more fortunate to be able to spend it as I wished. As for my own children I must confess that I sometimes spoiled them. Especially during Christmas and on their birthdays or other events. Still they have turned out OK. So I guess it is the LOVE we put into raising them that makes the difference.
