SECTION A (READING)
1. Read the following passage carefully.
25
1. A spoiled child is an enraged child Children become enraged when their deepest emotional
needs get neglected. Most parentalocates argue that firm limit-setting and even punishment
- the antidote to spoiling. This is untrue ind only knores the depth of the problem. The real
antidote to spoiling is that parents find ways to meet their children's needs. Children who get
their deepest needs met meest become enraged - and would never put up with being spoiled
Such children have nothing to be curaged about. And yet, most parents lack the capacity to
meet their children's deepest needs. And figuring out how to gain this capacity is simply too
hard for most parents
2 Gaining this capacity requires that parents enter realms within themselves that are tembly
painful the realms of their own unresolved childhood needs which lie dormant and split of
in their own unconsciousness. This depth of the unconscious is so off-limits to most parents
that it is een land for them to conceive that it might exist. But it does exist, and their raging
child is a externalized manifestation of it. Thus, the sooner the parents control their child's
rage, the quicker they can return to their state of blissful denial of just how disturbed they
themselves are beneath the surface
3. Healthier parents try to appease their children's rage through whatever compensatory means
they have at their disposat - primarily through spoiling. Less healthy parents simple try to kill
their child's rageby burying it
4 If it were easier for parents to have accessed their own ancient, unresolved anger they would
have worked on it. They would have gone within and reflected on their own painful truth
blamed and even confronted the people who were responsible for it, grieved and ultimately
healed through integration. But when this does not happen, it passes to their children and the
wounds never heal Today we find many children get angry for small things. The parents look
confused and have no idea how to address this. Over a period of time it gets out of control
