Also, spoiled children are not as challenged to be more creative in their play as children with fewer toys. They have fewer opportunities to learn the value of money, and have less experience in learning to deal with delay in satisfaction, when every requested object is given on demand.
The real purpose of this discussion is not to tell parents how much or how little to give to their children. Rather, my intention is to help those parents who have already sensed that they might be spoiling their children but don't know how to stop.
Sometimes you may feel uncertain about whether to give in to many of your children's requests. That doesn't mean you can't change. First, you should try to determine what makes you submit or feel guilty.另外，被宠坏的孩子也并不比那些没什么玩具的孩子在做游戏时被激发出更大的创造性。由于有求必应，他们了解金钱价值的机会就比别人少，而且当他们的要求无法即刻得到满足时，他们也不知如何去应付。
我讨论这个问题的真正目的不是要告诉家长们应该给孩子们多少物质的东西才适当。确切地讲，我的目的是帮助那些已经意识到自己也许是在宠坏孩子、但又不知道如何纠正这一做法的家长们。
有时你也许会对自己是否要对孩子提出的许多要求作出让步感到没有把握。这并不意味着你不能改变。首先，你应该设法弄清楚是什么东西使你让步，或者让你感到内疚。
