Consequences of Spoiling Children

The document discusses the negative effects of permissive parenting where children are given everything they ask for and allowed to do whatever they want. This can spoil children and make them feel they have power over their parents. It can also prevent children from learning to handle problems themselves as they have always been looked after, leading to struggles later in life such as with studying for exams.

In this day and age, children often given everything they

ask by their parents and do what they like. From my point of


view this is not a good way to teach children.
Firstly, parents are spoil the children, allow the children
ask for favorable things make they feel they have power over
parents. My nephew is a good example in point. He is 8
years old. Although, he is mature enough but he always
pesters his parents to buy him more latest versions of video
games and Lego sets if he is bored with the one he have.
This is extremely dangerous because it could be negatively
affect the child’s personality when they grow up.
Secondly,parents are spoon-feed children, teenagers
would not be able to handle with any problem in the future
as they have looked after them by permissive parents. For
example, in today's society, parents tend to finish their kids'
homework instead, consequently, lots of teenagers have
been struggling when it comes to formal examinations in
schools. As a result, there will be the increasing rate of
teenagers who have issues with studying in higher
education or unemployment.
In conclusion, although parents have been doing this
behaviour for some reasons, I strongly believe that it will
make their kids to be worse not only in the present time but
also in the future.

Teenagers may struggle with formal examinations because parental assistance with homework can inhibit their ability to engage in independent critical thinking and problem-solving. This assistance replaces the natural learning process required to succeed in examinations, ultimately resulting in unpreparedness and lower confidence in their abilities during exams .

Spoiling children might result in them developing poor study habits and an over-reliance on assistance from others, leading to challenges in higher education where independent work is crucial. This dependency could further extend into their professional lives, resulting in difficulties with unemployment and less favorable employment outcomes due to insufficient problem-solving skills and independence .

Permissive parenting can result in children not developing the necessary skills to handle real-world problems independently. As these children are often spoon-fed solutions, they might struggle with problem-solving and decision-making in the future, often leading to difficulties in coping with academic challenges and employment .

When parents frequently assist or complete children’s homework, it can prevent children from learning problem-solving skills and critical thinking, which are essential for handling formal examinations independently.

Children who are given everything they ask for may develop a sense of entitlement and feel they have power over their parents . This could negatively impact their personality as they grow up, leading to difficulties in handling disappointment and a lack of resilience in challenging situations .

Children who are 'spoon-fed' may face challenges in transitioning to independence because they might lack the skills needed for self-reliance, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and handling failure.

The trend of parents completing assignments for children undermines the educational system by inflating academic performance without genuine understanding or skill acquisition. This can lead to systemic issues like an inflated perception of student competency and an increased difficulty for educators to assess actual student abilities and provide targeted support .

Constantly buying the latest toys can lead children to develop a reliance on material possessions for happiness and satisfaction, potentially fostering materialistic attitudes and undermining the development of appreciation for non-material forms of engagement and creativity .
