Nowadays, some parents are so permissive about setting boundaries for their children that they choose to satisfy their children’s wishes as far as possible no matter what their kids ask for or what they want to do. From my perspective, it is extremely hazardous for children in the long run. Numerous detrimental effects will become apparent for these overindulged children as they grow up.

First and foremost, due to spoiled kids’ over-reliance on their parents, many of them will not gradually learn age appropriate skills necessary to eventually stand on their own  feet. To be specific, coddled kids are never taught to be independent in their childhood because their parents are highly responsive to their demands. As they grow up, they never know what is enough and how to keep balance between their needs and wants.

What’s worse, parents assume they are loving their children when they pile them up with all the toys or activities they desire. Nevertheless, they can hardly imagine these spoiled kids tend to be either manipulative or indifferent grown-ups. In other words, when they become adults, they are insensitive to the needs of others, are prone to temper tantrums and have trouble in deferring gratification. Besides, according to a scientific research, spoiled children are unable to understand the concept of boundaries as adults and can develop addictive problems such as overspending, gambling, overeating and drinking.

In addition, overindulged children basically hear very positive comments about themselves from their parents since their parents generally do not offer constructive criticism about real flaws. Plus they cannot learn to accept suggestions from well-intended adults such as teachers, grandparents, principals, friends and so forth. Consequently, pampered kids will gradually grow into excessively self-centered adults who lack in emotional maturity.

In conclusion, indulgent parents may bring up children with poor problem-solving and social skills. These children may become adults who flounder unhappily and helplessly in their lives.
