Parents often give children everything they ask for and let them do what they like. Is this good or bad? What are the consequences when they grow up?

In this day and age, several parents tend to accommodate all of their offspring’s demands. From my perspective, this trend is detrimental as it leads to children’s negative personality traits, which bring about undesirable impacts when they mature.

In the first place, I believe that over-indulgence is a poor choice of rearing as it adversely affects kids’ personalities in their formative years. First, those whose parents are overly permissive can become unduly reliant on others. As they are granted all requests, they may develop a habit of pestering for things and depending on their parents for everything, which deprives them of the motivation to work towards their own goals. In addition, this parenting style can make children more vulnerable to toxic influences from the outside world. For instance, many Vietnamese children use profanities from a very young age because they are exposed to social media where cursing is the norm without their parents’ close supervision.

I opine that fulfilling all children’s wishes has long-term effects on their future. First, progeny living in their parents’ indulgence can not be fully independent when they grow up. For example, if children constantly get a considerable amount of pocket money, they will be unable to budget and manage their finances when they are adults. Moreover, pampered children are likely to become thoughtless and self-centered people. As these kids have got anything they want since childhood, they may think the world centers around them, and they will show little consideration for others’ feelings and needs.

In conclusion, indulgent and lenient parents can make their children lack self-reliance and be susceptible to harmful habits. Not only that, in my opinion, these kids can also become overdependent on others and egotistic when they get older.
