Being a new parent, we become so excited that all we can think about is to give our child the best that we can, from food to toys thinking that that is the sense of being a parent, giving everything you can for your child. But what we didn’t know is that we’re giving too much to the point of spoiling our child. Later, when he/she is young do we only realize that we have to mold our child into a person of values and dignity.
It is in their early childhood, while the child is still able to learn form the parent that we should teach our child to have concern for people around him/her, and not just on the pleasure side. You will notice the reward of it when he/she has a brother or sister already. It is so nice to see them helping their siblings while still young because you instilled in their mind that every person has their own need and they are part in achieving everyone’s goal. Teach your child that not everything that they want should be provided especially when it’s too much. That way, he/she will grow knowing that there is a certain consequences if he/she gets everything he wants. Teach them also what is acceptable and what is beyond limit while they are young.
