Question

Express your views either for or against the statement, "overindulgence is making children selfish and self centered

Answer 1

Every parent wants to provide their children with the best possible experiences, facilities and amenities. But there should be a limit for everything. There might be things that are not appropriate for their age, giving them too much, too soon may ruin their habits psychologically.

Overnurturing and giving too much toys, clothes, and gadgets at an early stage makes them want more and more. This tendency eventually turns them selfish.

When a child gets what he wants as soon as he makes a wish, he starts taking it for granted. Giving your child what he needs is different from giving him 'whatever' he wants.
