Our children are the most overindulged in the world. We as a society expect far too little from children and give far too much. All the stuff and freedom they receive are without requiring a balance of responsibilities&.Hudson is a clinical professor of pediatrics at the University Of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine.
The long-term consequence to overindulged children is a feeling of entitlement. Some parents may be saying, "What is bad about feeling entitled?" As children reach the teen years and their unrealistic expectations are unfulfilled, anger, anxiety, and depression often result.
Adolescents are becoming angrier, more intolerant and more demanding to get what they want, now. This parenting style giving too much has created fun-seeking teens who are unprepared for the world, demanding, dependent on attention and resentful of their parents for failing to keep them happy. &
When you expect more and give less you are balancing your children's lives to meet the demands of the world. They will be truly happier, more confident and ready for the challenges and demands they will face.
