Pampering - Recognizing And Managing
'SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD'
...this dictum stands true today.
Parents often pamper their children without realizing it. They would like to provide them with everything that is possible at the earliest. If it is their only child, then they pamper the child more. Failing to realize that they are causing damage to the child’s overall personality. Such children have personality problems as they are used to getting their own way in matters and come out as an over-confident being.
RECOGNISING A PAMPERED CHILD
The following behavioural patterns can help recognising a pampered child :
- He/She may not be willing to accept refusal, if what is desired is not received.
- A pampered child may not pay heed to the views presented by his/her parents.
- The pampered child has adjustment problems. The child may always expect things to go in his/her favour.
- Quite a few pampered children may want to enjoy the rights of adults, but may not like to take on responsibilities of an adult.
- A pampered child tends to take his/her parents for granted and may make demands that parents can’t meet.
In today's world, real progress has been made in the development of child-centered parenting, education and care. But, this cultural shift has produced a generation of children who are entitled to the same rights as adults, but not ready to accept grown up responsibilities. We should try to strike an effective balance between caring for and nurturing children, while at the same time maintaining authority and respect for each other.
Parents may have the best of intensions in pampering a child, but fail to realize that they are causing much damage. A child should adjust to denials as well. He / She should not feel that things are easy to come by. Hardships should also be experienced for the overall healthy growth of the child.
