Can you remember the last time you spent time with your family? Have you ever wondered what dwells in your child’s mind when he doesn’t get enough time to spend with you? Today’s families are always busy and on the run. Parents are busy in their professional life. Previously, children used to spend time with their parents more often than what kids do now. Children are left almost alone because of both their parents spending most of their time outside. They have equal workloads at their workplace leaving little time for children at home. Children get 99% of their knowledge from their parents. Their goals, views, decisions and attitude largely depends on what they learn from their parents. Therefore, there comes a change in their behavior & views which eventually leads to children being spoiled.
Here are few reasons to children being spoiled:
- Neglecting or avoiding your child
- Trusting other children in more than your own child
- Too much interference
- Favoritism
- Scolding without any reason
- Not fulfilling their expectations
- Emotional distress
- Demotivating words
- Lack of communication
- Annoying behavior
These things make you child emotionally upset and affect their behavior. It’s easy to wrap up all your day to day challenges and just spend quality time with your child more often than you do to prevent children being spoiled.
