I didn’t have this issue growing up as growing up in a family of four siblings there was always one to play with or terrorize, so to speak. We always found things to do even at a young age without running to our parents telling them we were bored and there was nothing to do. I can’t say honestly that it didn’t happen, it just didn’t happen as often as what I see it today with our daughter as well as those around us.I want to first tell you that yes our daughter is spoiled, however, she is not a spoiled brat.
These are two different things in my mind as we spend money on her that most parents probably would not with their child but we don’t let her get away with being anything but friendly and as easy to get along with as we are.
The reason and point to this article is to tell you how we have managed to keep our daughter on the straight and narrow without any difficulty from a very young age. Read on at PTPA
I was not an only child nor are my kids (although they probably would have been if I'd only have one at a time).
ReplyDeleteHowever, I've met more and more one child families. Spoiling a child with love, attention and toys doesn't break a child. The way they're parented and what they're taught does. With a father like you, I'm sure that your daughter is lovely. Happy Father's Day.
