The Myth of the Spoiled Child

Coddled Kids, Helicopter Parents, and Other Phony Crises
Book • 2014
In *The Myth of the Spoiled Child*, Alfie Kohn debunks popular beliefs about modern parenting, arguing that complaints about permissive parents and entitled children are not supported by evidence.

He challenges the ideology underlying these criticisms, suggesting that overly controlling parenting poses a greater threat to child development than indulgent parenting.

Kohn uses social science data and logic to critique common assertions about self-esteem, participation trophies, and the value of self-discipline.
