How to Understand That a Child is Very Spoiled: 5 Signs

Parents try to please their beloved children more often. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you don’t overdo it.

But the constant desire to please the baby and the unwillingness to say “no” often leads to unpleasant consequences.

Thus, the child may turn out to be spoiled, capricious, selfish and ungrateful.

How can mom and dad understand that they have clearly gone overboard with care? There are several signs.

The child does not help his parents

If a child never comes to the aid of his family, then this is clearly an alarm bell.

Especially if the child refuses to help his mother or grandmother when they ask for it.

Often gets indignant

A spoiled child constantly displays negative emotions: screams, swears, expresses anger and discontent.

And this happens in any unpleasant situation for the child. For example, losing a board game, being reminded to clean up the room or do homework, etc.

Doesn't spare anyone

It is bad if a child does not have the ability to empathize. Sympathy for other people is a manifestation of kindness and proper upbringing.

An unwillingness or inability to sympathize with others often indicates that the child has been spoiled.

He doesn't hide the fact that he didn't like the gift.

The gift may not be liked. There is nothing wrong with that. But if the person said it out loud, then it is clearly a violation of etiquette rules.

If a child doesn't even think about the fact that such a statement could hurt parents and friends, then the situation is clearly bad.

Phrases like “The gift could have been better” or “But I asked for a smartphone!” can easily be called manifestations of spoiledness.

Doesn't want to hear the word "no"

A spoiled child hates being refused.

And this is very bad: the child clearly believes that family members should fulfill all his whims.
