Deep dives

Overindulgence and the harm it can cause to children

Parents who spoil their children, give in to their every demand, and struggle to say no are doing more harm than good. Overindulgence prevents children from learning empathy, boundaries, and the value of hard work. It leads to insatiable desires and a lack of appreciation for achievements and relationships. By overindulging, parents are robbing their children of the opportunity to develop a sense of purpose and self-worth.
