Motherhood: Love Your Child, Don’t Spoil Your Child (10)

Hello Great Mothers!

With few exceptions, a spoiled child is accustomed to having what they want when they want it. When a spoiled child needs something and it is not provided. Such a child can utter an insulting word or statement so loud that everyone present at that time would hear the child. For instance, some time ago, I was at the Church restroom when a girl of 4 years shouted and said “Shut up your mouth” to the adult who was with her just because she was asked to stop playing with water.

No mother would intentionally spoil her child. When a mother indulges her kids, she usually does it with well-intentioned but mistaken motives. So, in the process of trying to give her kids the finest things in life possible, or all she lacked as a child. Such a mother ended up spoiling the child.

Some of our actions that could spoil our children have been discussed in my previous article. More will be discussed in this article.

Children should be able to carry out their duties. assigned to them without parental influence.
