To be responsible as a parent is primarily liable to your child's physical and mental health. Childhood is a chapter of life that lay the foundation for later personality. Many parents find it difficult to refuse the child and strive to fulfill her every wish, even before being expressed. But being a good parent does not always give a baby's face. A baby, the mother should strive to satisfy all needs. Little needs to feel safe, and this sentiment is offered only by heat and near the mother. However, when the child grows, the mother must learn to distinguish between what is really important for her child, and what he does for his own convenience or pleasure. Is spoiling a good thing? What do you think?

When they are in childhood we need to provide them the best of possible in everything. By the time they reach teenage, they demand the parents for so many things that are not necessary for them and easily get upset if we didn't make it available for them. I don't want to spoil them by giving everything they ask for as if they develop such habit, they will become a spendthrift once they start earning and they may not understand the value of money. So we also need to teach them the importance of handling money for right things at right time..It is like during childhood the parents are their caretaker and in teenage a friend and a balanced upbringing can create gems for family.

I think it's normal to give them everything they want, but try not to overdo it. To strive to offer the "all" but the extent possible. From my point of view, the child is the most important thing in our lives, and when you become a parent, give the child everything, even to deprive you of one thing you need, just to give your child everything he wants. It is normal, but before I give that "something" that they want, and they must do "something" in turn. Our children need to implement that should be worth that toy, or anything else, so small they do not understand all they deserve, and have what they want to have to make sacrifices, just as we make sacrifices for the give them what zeal. And I agree with you that you have to know how to win money, and you have to work to get a good / useful. Thanks for response.

That is a good policy of involving children to 'do something' in return. usually i expect them to do well and score high in studies, only then i promise them a 'gift' or the something which they were asking for. I also agree if we over do, there are chances that didn't make our expectations.

Spoiling is never good.We should distinguish between what is the need and what is luxury.We should provide all that is required.For good deeds and outstanding achievement we should provide a reward.In other words we are encouraging those desirable traits.

A spoiled child who is the mirror of their parents are too protective and I meet every desire. Of course, no parent does not want your child to make mistakes, and then bear the consequences - is perfectly normal. But when this care exceeds certain limits, it can turn against both parents, but also detrimental to the child. It is usual for things and decisions to be made for him and get him to believe that everyone follows their own interests - which does not apply outside the family. Obviously, no child is perfect. Stubbornness is not necessarily a feature of a spoiled child. But there are certain limits, which violates their children, and depends only on us to establish what they are. Thanks for response.

As parents, we tend to give our child the best we can. But in so doing we should bear in mind that we don't spoil them so much , because that could trigger them to ask more than what we can provide. Let's just see to it that we give them what they need but not spoil them .

That is, spoiling, love, true feelings, be expressed so that the little to understand place which he have in the universe of family. Tender gestures, gifts and small pleasures are also part of the same game of love. But do not forget that a measure must be maintained in all. Most times, very spoiled children have difficulty adjusting later in society. The world does not forgive and does not make concessions to anyone. Spoiled children will pay dearly veil of exaggerated childhood. Thanks for response.

It is important for parents to give their children many of the things they need,but within certain limits,it's wrong to give children everything because they will easily get used to being spoiled and whenever the parents will refuse them they will complain and make a lot of noise,thus turning the lives of parents into nightmares,so it's important not to satisfy every desire children have and try to say 'no' to them from time to time;they will certainly not like it,but they will understand that it's important to have whatever you want in this life without any effort and that lesson will surely be useful to them when they grow.

Nobody can say how far you a natural satisfaction of desires and needs of children and where pampering begins. It's good for every family to have its rules on the child to know and comply with them. He needs limits. Our task is to establish them and respect them with him. When a child knows he is not allowed to eat, such as chocolate evening, he will easily subject to this rule. But if we do not follow the rules and give him three of seven nights chocolate, he will not know the limits and, consequently, will not comply.They consider themselves omnipotent-like little gods who must get everything they want. Whether it is a toy, a candy, to go in a certain place, to take a particular activity, you should set rules and limits that can be observed by both sides. Thanks for response.

Giving your child what he/she needs is how parents show their love for their children. This shows that the parents are supporting and developing their child's growth. When a child is 2 years old and older, he/she becomes independent and wants to do task on their own with this parents are encourage to give rewards by giving the child praises. If the parents are capable of spoiling their child until he/she outgrew it then go but if the parents will not be able to then don't bother spoil them with material things. However spoiling your child with love is not a bad thing.

It may seem a bit contradictory, but you can not raise a spoiled child than if you underestimate, meaning, when the rules are not strong because it is still small to understand and comply with them when doing things instead of being too protective (example - you conclude the shoes or shirt, you can already do this alone), making them different gifts or favors that are not appropriate for his age (joy stealing small things) - for example I buy the latest model mobile phone. Through it all he grows too self-centered and immature behavior gets, manipulating parent objectionable behavior. Otherwise, sure we free the words and gestures of love. They have nothing to do with the child and pamper in no case be withdrawn as punishment ... This is not an educational method. Let's kiss and hugging as much as children will do well and new to them. Thanks for response.

i think there is a fine line between spoiling your child and making your child happy you can make your child happy but still have that dicipline barrier there spoiling your child is letting your child get away with murder and thats an unhealthy relationship between a parent and child most parents dont dicipline their child because they are afraid their child will not love them anymore i am not a parent myself but i have 5 animals whom are like my children

Children are not born spoiled, but when adults are around them (parents, grandparents) are too permissive and always willing to satisfy all desires. If parents do not set some rules and clear boundaries, children will understand that he has the power in the family and, therefore, will act as a leader. We pretend to be like her immediately, and if any of the "subject" will dare to oppose the little tyrant will protest nervous breakdown, screaming, verbal or physical aggression. A spoiled child who was taught to get everything too easy, without some effort, is not a child really ready for life. Thanks for response.
