What is spoiled to one, is regarded as spirited to the other, with the “I want it NOW!” increasingly being viewed as a sign the 7-year-old is going to be a great business person in twenty years time.
But can you really measure if your child is spoiled? According to ‘mommy website’, Lil Sugar, you can. Sparking a lively debate among its readers, the website posted a checklist of 10 signs that indicate that you may have a spoiled child on your hands.
From the ‘She throws tantrums, often’, to the ‘He tries to control adults’, and ‘You have to beg him’, Lil Sugar has put itself at the mercy of over defensive, or perhaps just protective mums. While it is safe to say we all know a spoiled child when we see one, it is less apparent when our child is the spoiled one, hence the hot debate.
But what if you watch Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it all seems a little too familiar? Then Lil Sugar has tips on how to ‘unspoil’ spirited Sam. From ‘Acknowledging why you spoil’ to ‘Get on the same page’, and ‘Don’t justify your reasoning’, Veruca Salt will be no more.
