Post: If you want to spoil a child, be sure to say yes to everything. Give in to their every demand and tell them how much their feelings matter. Quiet them with a tablet or cell phone and make sure to receive their consent for all of your choices that affect them. Finally, let them scold you when they feel that you've disappointed them and let them do it publicly. Many of us have created monsters at a young age and now that they're older, we don't know what to do with them. When a child has no leadership from the parents, they will fill the void themselves. I am a strong proponent of building confidence in children, promoting critical thinking and wise decision making. However, having the children be in charge is a recipe for disaster. The structure of obedience only works one way, the adult tells the child "no." Only the parent who cares for their child will meet them with this loving message.
