Why is my child so entitled? Is this normal or I’m overreacting?
It’s quite common for kids to display signs of entitlement at such a young age. When we had my second child, my first child was all over in her feelings, she got so moody she wasn’t speaking to anyone. She had thought it would always be just her, her alone. It is normal or kids to act like that, but as parents, the onus is on you to lead them on he right path. A child can demand the whole of the universe from you, and if they can’t get it, they get in their feelings or even hate you for that, would you then say you’ve failed because you couldn’t give your child the universe? We all want the most beautiful things of life for our children but where do we mark the line?
when children receive everything they want, we feed into their sense of entitlement—and feelings of gratitude fall by the wayside. The entitlement epidemic usually begins with over-parenting—over-indulging, over-protecting, over-pampering, over-praising, and jumping through hoops to meets kids’ endless demands. All kids want stuff in the store, but if they’re constantly fixated on the next big thing they can get, requiring you to ritually dig into your wallet, it’s an entitlement problem. Over-entitled kids who never seem to get enough stuff not only never feel contented, but are likely to face trouble down the road when managing their finances.
