There are various styles of parenting, each with its unique approach to raising children
Then there areuninvolved parents. They are the ones who aren’t able to give any time to their kids. It could be because they’re overwhelmed or distracted. These children often feel neglected, missing the guidance and attention they need.
Lastly, we have permissive parents, they are the ones who might let their kids eat ice cream for dinner occasionally. While this can foster creativity and independence, kids may also struggle with self-discipline later on.
“Being too permissive usually involves our bribing and pleading and often giving in. It means saying ‘No,’ but meaning ‘Probably not’ or ‘I’m not sure,’ which may feel loving in the moment but gives your child too much power,”saysNancy Samalin, author of “Loving Without Spoiling”.
If your kid is bullying others, parents should step in, address the behavior calmly, and teach empathy while setting clear boundaries for what’s acceptable
When kids feel like they always get their way, it can sometimes lead to spoiled orbratty behavior. Such children might resort to throwing tantrums when things don’t go according to them. Whether it’s in the middle of a grocery store or at home, they might kick, scream, and cry to get what they want, leaving parents in a tough spot.
It’s not just the loud outbursts, though. Spoiled kids can also get physical—hitting, grabbing, or even biting others if they feel frustrated or don’t like sharing. These behaviors can be overwhelming for parents to manage, especially in social settings.
And then there’s the constant whining. Whether it’s about not getting the snack they want or being told “no” for something small, spoiled kids often nag and complain endlessly, wearing down their parents with relentless demands.
When dealing with such behavior,parentsshould start with setting clear boundaries. Kids need to understand that they can’t always get what they want, and it’s okay if parents say “no” sometimes. When moms and dad are consistent with setting limits, they help kids learn about self-control.
Another thing that parents can try isteaching kidsabout empathy. Helping kids see how their actions affect others, like how hitting or whining makes people feel, can encourage them to behave more kindly.
Additionally, positive reinforcement can work wonders. Praising good behavior can show kids how they’ll get more attention and rewards for being considerate rather than demanding.
People online praised the parent’s actions, sharing similar stories from their own experiences and even recalling incidents from their childhood
