Today the whole pattern of child behaviour is in transitional stage. Today the theory is "I want just now and immediately". Today we can watch children being super egoists. They need all that is best for themselves and leave the discarded to their parents. The parents too may not have time to sit with the child to educate, They concede to the children whatever they demand without distinguishing what they need and what they want. The elderly generations who lived the days of war had been deprived of everything and forcibly lived being deprived of all comforts. The children of war time, when they grew up as adults they began to live under democracy and demand for equal rights. These parents' slogan is " I shall give my children everything all that I did not have during that age".
Many times it happens that children are not educated to give precedence to the parents rather they get first. Some needs like food sleep comfort yes but not in every situation that the children must be givien precedence. For example today everybody has a cel phone. earlier when there had been only one phone children would demand to hold the phone without allowing the parents to phone. This is just an example.
Earlier parent used to dialogue with the children speaking or informing about the status of their economy so most of the children wouldn't ask the parents buy things beyond their capacity. But today many children are merciless demanding the parents to buy thing even at the cost of making loan. Associating the children along with the household affairs and educating them to be mature in their attitude is the need of the time.

Very nice discussion
I agree with you, things are changing so fast, due to internet, cell phones the globe appears to be contracting , the present day kids are smart, more intelligent, but at times they behave crazy too.
Best of luck.

I like your argument, yes kids are becoming more selfish and demanding, it's pretty much modern society. Parents are so busy now that they don't have time to be with their kids and really teach them about virtues and morals. I had my Mum who stayed home with me every step of the way when I was a kid and I learned a lot from her. When I'm out in the shops, I see these kids wearing branded clothing, using iphone touches and carrying just the latest stuff you know. I look at them and think, I was never allowed to have those things. Kids are growing up so fast and technology is another factor too, brainwashing them and urging them to want more and more. Some parents my be rich and pretty much get everything a child wants and this is a bad influence too. Parents really need to step up their game in this day and age and really sit down with their kids and teach them a lesson about reality. I know kids are immature but really etching them at a young age is best because they are more accepting, once they're adults, they'll firmly adhere to their beliefs. It's hard to change someone who is an adult compared to a learning child.

A demanding kid you only get if you don't set the rules as an adult. If you pay your kids (with presents instead of attention) to keep them quite or because you feel quilty you don't have time for them.
There is no need to give a kid everything he/she wants. As an adult it's your job to show them everything cost money. And to make some money you have to work hard. Also.. if you teach a kid to save it will be way happier with what it bought from that money as when you give and give and give.
It's the same with cleaning up, being responsible for your own hygiene, clothes, shoes etc.
