* Stop Spoiling Your Children Sunny AM Adela Alina The producers: Para6 Spoiling a child also happens when parents are unable to stand up to their childeren’s unreasonable demands. Such parents fluctuate between saying no and giving in—but neither response seems satisfactory to them. If they refuse a request,they immediately feel a wave of regret for having been so strict or ungenerous. If they give in, they feel regret and resentment over having been too easy. Para6 This kind of variability not only loosens the parents’s ability to set limits,it also sours the parent—child realitionship to some degree ,robbing parents and their children of some of the happiness and mutual respect that is present in healthy families.
