The Joy Of Parallel Play Dates

One way to prevent spoiled children is to be strict with the child. Once they are spoiled, it can be difficult to reverse the behavior. If a child has a tendency towards being spoiled, try not giving them what they want when they whine or scream at you.

This teaches discipline and how to handle emotions without having their wants met. Additionally, if you’re lenient with your child and give in to their demands often, this can create bad habits in your toddler.

Let them Know their Boundaries

Another way is to set limits for your child. As mentioned before, many spoiled children tend to have an entitlement mentality and believe that everything should be given to them regardless of whether or not it’s appropriate.

To counteract this, establish limits for your spoilt child and enforce them consistently.

Don’t give in (easily)

Just because your child asks for something doesn’t mean you need to give it to them immediately or without question. This will teach them that entitlement behavior will get them what they want, which can lead to spoiling down the line.

When your child makes a request, think about how reasonable it is before answering it.
