Pampered Kids is the norm nowadays

Overview: Parents tend to give their children instant gratification and generally, refusal is treated as a taboo word. It is cases like this where children expect things to be served rather than to obtain it themselves. This is due to the simplicity of saying 'yes' preferably to 'no' as it makes the situation less complicated for parents to handle.In instances such as 2 working parents, they are inclined to feel more guilty in spending less time with their children so they assuage their guilt by lavishing them with extravagant accessories. As children turn into teenagers, they would see their peers as a new family and treats their parents with less loyalty and respect than they should. To avoid having a spoiled child, one should devote them with quality time rather than expensive materials. Likewise, one should also encourage them to work-learn the value of money- and teach them to appreciate what they had been given.

Opinion: I completely agree with the author with his stand that most children are indulged and loaded with fancy goods such that they become pampered in everything they do.They are almost treated like royalty at home. Even at answering phone calls, they lack the proper manners to interact politely with strangers; at times they are indifferent in even picking up the house phone. Though critics can point out that parents want their children to feel loved which would make them feel confident and happy, it actually rids them of their moral core and compass; which is an unforseen problem. As an alternative to avoid having a spoiled child, parents at times should be stringent towards their children so that the latter would not get the better of their parents. These boundaries should be constantly reinforced so that they know exactly where is the thin line between good and bad.
