i read an email entitled exactly like this. it's a touching and sweet story of a father and his daughter. the father telling his daughter how brats are created by the parents who in their quest to make their children's lives easier, give them the very best and unknowingly deprives them of standing for themselves. for every parents out there i want to share this wonderful article to all of you, unfortunately it's too long to be pasted here, so here's the link: http://lyns-chatterbucks.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-brats-are-created.html.
it's a good read and i encourage you to read it. happy reading! tell me what you think pls...

sorry,the web can't be opened.I am a chinese,in our country,the most parents is attach importance to their children's education,the boy and girl usually have many other work except schoolwork,they study to play piano and paint and dance and so on.they have new time to do sth they want.their creationary idea can't bring into play.SO I want the parents can make their children lives easier and I am sure that they will give us many surprises.

i wish i could do that to my kids (make them study piano, painting, etc)... unfortunately like i too am guilty of making my kids a little bratty, i don't force them to study like i want to, i just let them do what they want to pursue. hopefully when they're older i'll be more firm on them.

Sorry the page would not load for some reason…nevertheless, its very correct that we parents create our children by our behaviour. Kids are like moulds of clay and we parents shape them the way we want to. Brats and bullies are both creations of parents who go overboard in protecting their children and handing out everything to them on a silver platter. To some extent, I too am guilty of spoiling my son but now that he’s crossed 10yrs and I can see the repercussions in his behaviour, I deliberately tell him NO to many things…little wants which I conceded before no longer get my approval. I am actually teaching him to handle ‘NO’ in a gracious way…the world will not lay the red carpet for him and he might very well learn the bitter truth from home.

thanks for your interest! i don't know why it wouldn't load...anyway, kids these days are smart and sometimes i don't know how to be a good role model for them, it's a tough job being a parent.

I unfortunately was unable to load the page. However, I think you are absolutely right in what you are saying here. My daughter was far too spoiled for far too long (she was the oldest child as well as the oldest grand-child on both sides, added to the fact that my husband had two brothers and no girls in the family). When she was little she was always given the best of everything and given things without even having to ask for them. Now that we are undertaking a slightly different lifestyle, it seems that she has had some problems adjusting to the changes.

that is exactly what i don't want to happen but as it is... that's exactly what is happening to my kids right now. they tend to demand to have what they want and it's quite frustrating to know it's our fault...
