Parents often make mistakes because they make up for the lack of time spent with their children by buying gifts

All children can have bad days, but it is very important to be able to distinguish a bad day, developmental stage and educational neglect, writes Paul Schwartz, professor of psychology at Mount Saint Mary College, reports Hvparent.com , quotes Telegrafi.

Everyone will have their own definition of a spoiled child and this mainly includes the following characteristics:

- Only I am important,

- Anger performance at every stop

- Constantly sets demands that adults can not meet

- Does not respect the rights of other children and adults

- Is constantly dissatisfied.

Most experts would agree that a child becomes "spoiled" at a young age, when children are given too much power and too little responsibility.

Parents who succumb to crying and anger do so with the best of intentions, but are unaware that in this way they are teaching their children to react this way when they want to get something.

"You can not always get everything you want"

Keep in mind: It is okay for children to cry.

It's not pleasant, but if we always succumb to tears and anger, this kind of behavior will escalate over time.

If you ignore their unrealistic desires and expectations, they will learn that they will not always get everything they want.

Parents often make mistakes because they make up for the lack of time spent with their children by buying the gift the child wants.

It is very important not to confuse these two things and not to compensate love and attention with material things.

Do not confuse love and gifts

It has long been believed that babies and children should not be hugged too much and should not be held in the arms, as this would break them down and make them soft.

However, you can never love your children too much or give them too much love.

Children need both, as much as they need air to breathe.

The next time you want to smile at your child's face with a new toy, instead devote an hour of your time to it.

The time we give them is the most precious thing you can give your child.

Here are some ways to lower your child's materialistic expectations and prevent potential outbursts:

- Be consistent in enforcing restrictions and responsibilities.

- Do not rush immediately to save a child from disappointment.

- Teach a child to have fun.

So many things that the child wanted to have today become the rubbish of tomorrow.

- Remind the child that he is not the center of the universe and that he must respect the rights of others.

- Limit time in front of the computer or phone because children are bombarded with ads that encourage them to buy new toys.

Teach your child to be grateful for what he has and not to envy someone for what he does not have.

Tell him that there are a billion children who do not have even a small part of what your child has.

- Above all, you yourself should be an example of moderation.

Children are role models and someone to be addressed, so try to be the one you would like your child to be tomorrow.
