Question

Many parents have started pampering their children.

They cannot tolerate any criticism on their children.

They keep quiet for all the atrocities done by their children.

Some children are so aggressive, arrogant and damaging. They come to others house, break the glasses and hurt other children.

But their parents would not correct them.

It is these children who grow up and becoming bad citizens.

It is the same children blame the society, school and friends for their children getting spoilt.

When will these parents change?

Nowadays there is an increase in these. Even education has become a business and teachers don’t bring discipline in children. All leading to, lack of discipline in every field, & further leading to all abnormalities in the society.

Answer 1

We are seeing this problem in the US and this generation of kids are entering the work force and becoming very hard to work with.

It started when the parents coddled their children and told all of them that they were the best. To prove this everyone who ran the race or entered the contest would win a prize. Everyone was considered a winner no matter what the actual scores were, and no matter how bad or good there individual performances were.

Later when these kids were in school the parent took it personally when their children didn’t do well. The parents would take it out on the teachers and not the children; no these kids were the best and they were all winners so it had to be the teacher’s fault. If it wasn’t the teacher’s fault then it was the school’s fault and if it wasn’t the school’s fault it was the fault of the government. The result was the dumbing down of the schools and the passage of the “No Child Left Behind Act.” Which means the entire class will be dumbed down to the point where all the children can pass. As a result the US has quietly dropped out of all International Competition with the children of other developed nations—we can’t compete and they got tried of hearing the bad scores.

Our schools were showing signs of slipping behind the world standard for a while and not it has only gotten worse. Grade school children in Europe and Japan are routinely smarter and better educated than American children of the same grade level and age. They take tests that Americans struggle with and remark how easy they are. When told it is a standard test for their grade level in the US they laugh. Meanwhile the standards of business and the world haven’t dropped; so the standards of colleges can’t drop. This means few kids are prepared for college.

I was graduated in the public school system 40 years ago and when I graduated high school and started college I was angry because I wasn’t prepared for the difficulty level of college; high school was just too easy. I had to struggle and it took me a while to develop the study skills and improved work habits where I could graduate (a hitch in the US Army helped me there). The only kids that are ready for college are those who have fled the public school system and gone into the private schools; those schools are almost the equal to their equalivalent in Europe. They also have better resources and richer clients. This separates the social classes and puts in more stratification of society. It has gotten to the point that the black inner city youth are now torn between two options; go into a gang and probably be dead or in jail for the next 25 years by the age of 25 or go into sports. They can’t afford to go to college any other way and need that sports scholarship so most of them are out of luck competing for the few slots available and the competition for and entry into professional sports is even larger and tougher.

Finally those children enter the work force and find it too so the move on to another job; they surf the Internet at work and are poorly motivated to do their job. The employers have to work had to motivate them and make them do the job. Again the bosses have to call each one of them winners and make little prizes to show that they are the “best workers.” Someone who works at a company for 6 months is considered a long time employee, and if they haven’t gotten some sort of useless award by then they move on somewhere else.

The coddling of our children has reduced our performance rating and our ability to perform in the market place. Our young adults have lost their motivation to work and all feel entitled when they are substandard operators. Over protective coddling and instance that everyone is a “winner” has reduced the motivation of our young adults and their performance.

The way to change this is to teach the parents the consequences of their actions.

Answer 2

Started? Pampering has always existed. Contemporary kids are much more socially sophisticated than the last generation of kids They know how to manipulate their parents with behavior that communicates to the parents that the parents are failing to provide the necessities that will assist the child to be successful. It's such a hamster wheel. Because many families are caught up in the belief that their kids need special advantages that will be reflected as the image of the value of the family, they just have no idea what is really valuable. Oh well.

Answer 3

That's not true with my family.
My mom always tells me that I'm ugly and feels sorry for me. My dad is never home. If I want something, I need to work for it.

There are some parents who do that. I believe it's because of wealth. People nowadays are wealthier than the many years before.
Teachers don't discipline children in order to get paid more. If they are able to get all the students to pass, the more pay they get.
Also, robots are starting to replace humans. Therefore, no need for human work like in industries.

Answer 4

i would say very well observed sir.
i agree that parents today r running behind money ultimately to give their chidren huge facilities...forgetting that facilities won't matter when the preciuos moments are lost.

children do not require the presents of parents but the presence of parents.

it will effect the future of children very adversely. they may learn bad and really bad habits which will go unnoticed.
they lose attachment wid parents and may hide or cheat them at some time also.

hope reality dawns upon the minds of today's parents.

ps- i'm lucky to have wonderful parents !!!!

Parents educate their children according to their own values. Which means that those children's parents are undisciplined and don't care about good education themselves.
