I fall in the category of parent who want to give his child a life which I could not get when I was a child, So I buy him the things he wants easily. But now I feel that he does not care or respect about what he gets. Should I stop him giving everything easily?

I agree, except for #2. My husband and I have worked very hard in life (college, career, smart financial planning, etc…) and we feel that if we can afford extra things that are within the age appropriateness for our kids, we go for it. Our kids are 5 & 7, and we enjoy doing extra things such as skiing, private sports lessons and big vacations. Usually the things we indulge in are not things, but experiences, that will help them out in life, as well as are fun and we all enjoy. We are not one bit ashamed that we indulge our family in ‘extravagant’ experiences, yet both of our parents think we are crazy and are kids will grow up entitled. These are things our parents would have NEVER done for us as kids. Either way, we always have fun, and great lifetime memories!

I agree with every single word in this article. I am a product of this. Both our parents spoiled us all 3 siblings. We all grew up irresponsible and entitled. Especially our eldest brother because he is the favorite child. We suffer the consequences of this wrong up bringing. But me (the youngest) and my other brother (the middle child) realized so much so we did a lot of things to change and break wrong mindsets and attitude. But unfortunately for our eldest brother never learned up until now

Thank you so much, I am a grandmother and I see my grandchildren getting expensive items that their parents really can’t afford, the other grandparents can and do, it makes it difficult for me and there parents because they expect the brand name. I will forward this advice to the parents and grandparents. Thank you again. God Bless.

I agree. Giving into children will not. lower their self-esteem. We confuse providing needs with wants way too often. No, is ok. As adults we hear it all the time, kids need to learn to handle that word. And it’s usually to protect them, not to harm.

What is the matter with yelling at your kids? I got yelled at when I was growing up, and you know whT hsppened to me when I got my first job and my boss yelled at me when I did something stupid? I got yelled at! And it didnt even bother me. I yell at my kids when they do somethi g stupid because I know that when they get out into that cold, harsh, cruel world, getting yelled at wont be such a big deal. I worked with men and women who did not get yelled at growing up and when they did something wrong, and they ALL got offended, some even cried like babies! I felt sorry for them! I dont want that for my kids. So yelling every once in awhile is okay, just as long as your words arent condescending, rude, and abusive. And yes, you can yell without being rude, condescending, and abusive.

I agree with this article a 100% sometimes as a parent you should hide your emotions and raise your kids to be responsible, respectable adults. Some parents are too easy on their children.

In reply to Hannah Rose. Agreed being a mother of three I would say my eldest would think the same way and the title you suggested is a better one.
