Do you spoil your child?

We can't simply analyze celebrities' behaviours whether good or not just according to our common people's standards,you know,their life style is quite different from ours.Maybe a $350,000 worth car is not much for a famous singer to earn. I agree with your opinion that we should encourage our children from time to time when he has made progress in any area.I don't think this means spoiling my children .Children need to be encouraged to increase their confidence and build their healthy personality.Meanwhile, we should also control the degree of we parents' affection on our own children.Too much spoiling will probably lead to lack of independence and sense of responsibility.

Yes .If we have the means ,we should spend on our children and make them happy .At the same time we should not spoil our children .Money should not be wasted .Money should be well spent .Children should be taught the value of money .

Hi santos mari chris: In case I'd be a father someday, I'll give everything I can afford to my kids but I think that I won't spoil them. I'll teach them to have a sense of responsability and that they need to work to have the things they want because they should know it's not an obligation. I won't like that my kids grow up with the idea that they deserve everything, because if I teach them this they will suffer in the future and I don't want this. So basically I would give them things according with my possibilities but at the same time I'll teach them that they have to do things to have what they want. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Striking that sensitive balance between how much to give and how much not to, when to give and when not to is the hardest, at least for me. And that includes telling him what should have been done instead if you find him making a mistake, when to tell him and when not to, how to tell him and how not to. This would be the greatest gift any parent could give for his child and that is education. The home is one great place where a child is educated. And knowing that you have taught him your best finds you at peace.

I don't believing in spoiling the kids all the time. It will make them believe that from time to time we can give those things at our disposal. Lately now that the prices are sky-rocketing high... so I can splurge on things with my kids if they really deserve it.

Children should be pampered but not over-pampered that may spoil them.When they pass out with flying colors or something like that they should be gifted but according to their age.My point of view is one should teach their child to be down-to-earth no matter how rich you are that will let them remain grounded and not spoil them

Spoil my child? No never. People never can spoil there favorite person and my child will be my most favorite person. I will try my best to something good for them and if they deserve anything then i will give it to them.

Why not if you can afford it, that is very true. Once you can afford it then why not give reward to your kid since they deserve it. I would spoil my son not to the extent that I could not afford. I would give him something that he would like to have but I could afford sometimes I do bargains if I could not afford it. I like most of the time because he understand it, sometimes he would care to share his savings just to buy the things that he would like which i dont want to tolerate. I would explained that its my reward so I will pay but the things that I could only afford.

i wouldnt spoil my child... but my child will definitely get what she deserves... anyway, my friends dad bought him a car when he became the top of the class... he was the youngest and he is the only child that got his own car.. but when he started acting bad, and not going home for weeks, and started to disregard schooling.. his dad sold his car... he doesnt desrve it anymore..

i think a lot depends on the childhood you had.. if you were spoilt then you will prob follow the same route with your own kids. i have always treated each of my three the same, stick to same budgets for birthdays and xmas etc, but buy them what they want rather than a load of stuff that they won't want, need or use. with my partner being self employed we have had times of being very short of money and other better times, and the kids have seen us struggle, but they know the value of money and don't waste it, so i am lucky, but so are they as they won't have to learn the hard way when they are older. x

I have no kids yet but I guess I would let my kids have freedom in what they do, provided that I instil in them the right values from young, meaning they should not hurt themselves or harm others in whatever they do. But I would not give them things whenever they asked for it, I would probably evaluate with them together whether it is justified. I believe over-indulgence may really spoil a child.

Yes to an extent! I spoil my little man with lots and lots of LOVE! But No, he does not get everything he wants!
