A spoiled child, also known as a spoiled brat, is a child who has overindulged in his or her lifestyle. This can lead directly to behavioral issues. Spoilt teens are often seen as egocentric, narcissistic, and egocentric. These issues may lead to anxiety or depression.
'Little Pickle' by Master Alfred
A short story entitled "The Spoiled Child", published in London Reader 1865, makes the dangers of spoiling children very clear. Young Harry Hillgrove is spoiled until he becomes a criminal. Harry contemplates his childhood after breaking into his mother’s house and murdering her.
Materialistic
A materialistic, spoiled child can have a negative influence on their adult lives. Children who overindulge can become dissatisfied and narcissistic as they grow up. They might also struggle to form meaningful relationships and become depressed. Materialistic spoiled children may need to be reduced in their gift giving.
Self-centered
The self-centered, spoilt children are the ones who don't like to act like adults. They will manipulate others in order to get their way. They will embarrass you in public, speak back to adults and boast about their accomplishments. They will eventually learn to manipulate other people by giving and receiving love.
Manipulation of self-control
A child who is not able to control their emotions can have many problems. They may become annoyed and frustrated easily and have difficulty controlling their emotions. This can also affect their social and academic development. Anger and depression can also be caused when you lack self-control. Children who struggle to control their emotions are more likely than others to become isolated.
Lack of empathy
Lack of empathy is one sign of a spoilt child. Even small acts of empathy can be displayed by young children, such as hugging their parents when they are sad or drawing a picture for a sick sibling. If a child isn't able to show empathy, then he/she will be considered spoiled and likely to continue being spoiled.
Rejection
One sign of spoiled children includes a lack of respect and admiration for authority. Children are sometimes prone to temper tantrums and will challenge their parents' authority. Respect for authority should be taught. Children who do not respect authority will grow more irritable over time. When their children are upset, a parent should not be afraid to confront them.
Inability to be discipline
Permissive parenting is a major cause of spoilt children. Parents give in to every whine and tantrum instead of setting limits or imposing consequences. This is often the result of trying to protect children from normal frustrations, and it results in a self-centered child who lacks patience and self-discipline. You may also experience this if your babysitter or nanny is constantly entertaining you and making unreasonable demands.
