Band 6

Some parents buy their children whatever they ask for, and allow their children to do whatever they want. Is this a good way to raise children? What consequences could this style of parenting have for children as they get older?

#parents #children #consequences #style
Among different types of parents, there is a group who believes spoiling
kids
 by giving them everything they wish and allowing them to do whatever they desire ain't a bad idea.
This
 essay will discuss how
this
 approach to parenting can make children thankless and disrespectful,
besides
 turning them into stubborn adults later in their lives. Providing
kids
 with everything they ask for, in the
first
 instance, makes them ungrateful and disobedient. They'll have no respect for their elders as they think the world revolves around them; along with that,
such
kids
 feel they're not required to work hard to achieve something. In a human study conducted between two groups of
kids
, ranging from 5 to 12 years old, it was evaluated that the group who was given chocolates without any task achievement was less thankful, as compared to the
kids
 who had to do a particular task to get chocolates. So, developing a habit of performing some activity to get their desired things, make
kids
 grateful and respectful. Individuals who were allowed to have all their wishes fulfilled in the blink of an eye, turn out to be more stubborn. Their " I deserve to be served" mindset becomes toxic for people around them,
consequently
 making them live isolated lives. A research paper regarding the sky-rocketing rates of divorces showed that in most cases, the abuser is the product of a " you can have all" kind of upbringing,
although
 it's not always the case. So it can be said that simple things, when done wrong while raising the young ones, can lead to disturbed adults. In conclusion, the style of raising
kids
 that don't refrain them from doing or having anything damages their personality;
besides
 making
kids
 thankless, it develops obstinate
