Spoilt Child - Inappropriate methods used in family education

In some societies, due to age old traditions coupled with fierce competition in today's social environment, many parents have such high hopes for their children that their expectations can cause undue pressure on their children.

Many parents are blinded by their own wish for their children to have outstanding skills and to become an overnight success.

In being so, they may fail to recognize some very real needs of their children. One example of such needs is for their children to learn for themselves how to overcome obstacles and hardship through hands on experience in doing things that they are capable of doing themselves.

For some parents, the duty as parents are viewed to be mere providers for their children's material needs. They are willing to invest in food, clothing, bodily care and comfort and even specialized training in certain skills, but they may neglect the children's mental health.

We find that many modern families have high focus on health knowledge but lacking in behavioral training for their children; high focus on the importance of dietary requirements of their children yet emotional nourishments are hardly paid much attention to or met. Typically, adults are more willing to do things for the children rather than allowing them to learn self independence and to experience it through doing things themselves.

As a result, it is very common to find children who are spoilt.
