I was raised in a family where my mom loved me unconditionally. She listened to me objectively and provided emotional support throughout my life. My dad\u2019s way of showing love was by giving things to my siblings and me.\u00a0 After all, the man\u2019s job was to be the \u201cprovider,\u201d and there seemed to be a blurred line between providing and showing love.\u00a0 So how do you as a parent define and draw boundaries for your child to make them feel loved without giving them everything they want?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
1. Traditional Meaning of Spoiling<\/strong><\/div>\n
What most people mean when they refer to a child as \u201cspoiled\u201d is that the parents indulge their child too much. Whether it’s through gifts or giving in to their child\u2019s every whim, a parent who spoils their child rarely says, “no.” Over time, this leads to the child making outrageous demands and insisting that they get their way all the time. When a child gets to the point of throwing tantrums and displaying meltdowns every time they don\u2019t receive what they want, it’s important to take notice. Remember, your goal as a parent is to guide and direct your child into responsible behavior as they journey into adulthood.<\/div>\n
\n

2. The Dangers of Labeling a Child as \u201cSpoiled\u201d
\n<\/strong>There is a tendency to judge other people\u2019s children\u2019s behavior without fully understanding the complete story in the family dynamic. The terms, “overindulge” and “spoiled” can be damaging to a child, so beware of passing judgment.\u00a0 However, you do have control and complete knowledge of your own situation. You’re aware of your child\u2019s temperament, how he reacts to circumstances, and can successfully develop a plan to be loving but also teach boundaries without giving in to every demand.<\/p>\n

3. How to Prevent Spoiling Your Child
\n<\/strong>Suffice it to say that you want to raise a child who is respectful and has the emotional tools to navigate the complications that life can bring. The key is giving yourself to your child, rather than giving them \u201cstuff\u201d to make up for feeling inadequate in some way. Spend quality time with your child, and give them unlimited love. Shower them with hugs, kisses, and affection. Let them know you love them and love being around them. Build up their self-esteem by raising them with confidence.<\/p>\n

Give your child the things they need in life to succeed, but resist the urge to buy them everything they want. Even if you have the financial means to give them everything they ask for, it does a child good to hear the word \u201cno\u201d now and then–this prepares them to live in a world where they will not expect handouts, nor feel entitled to anything that isn’t rightfully theirs.<\/p>\n

Your job as a parent can be incredibly demanding but will bring joy and satisfaction as you watch your child grow into an independent, loving and selfless adult who contributes to all that\u2019s good in our society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
