We come across lot of parents stating that their children have grown up to be very demanding. Such parents often claim that they have to face serious problems coping with constant demands and frequent pestering of their children over small issues. What do you think about this problem and what are your suggestions?

If the parental affection is boundless, the miseries brought by affection are also boundless.


We are living in an increasingly consumer society where purchasing power decides many patterns of behavior by individuals or family. It is a participatory economy which encourages repeat purchases. Non participation or diluted or curbed participation many times creates a sense of inferiority in children and adults. Awareness is necessary but is becoming difficult esp in nuclear families.[/quote

Be it a nuclear family or a joint family when it comes to injecting the healthy habits in a child. the onus lies on the shoulders of the parents. In this connection, the parents should go all out for injecting good habits in their children What way they choose it's up to the parents to decide.

Healthy habits are generally to be developed by those who cannot afford to act as a wall against temptation. Those who can afford merrily go on spending and their happiness is in buying more. Both are happy in their lifestyles. The grass is always greener on the other side.

At a glance It creates a false impression that the grass is greener on the other side . At the end of the day, it proves to be an illusion.

So should we blame the kids or parents who cross their purchasing power limits either by overbuying or underbuying?

PARENTS. By all means.
Simply by changing our lifestyle a bit can resolve this problem.It is just a matter of choice. Instead of going to malls and buying stuff and having dinners there are plenty of other places to go. You can see the malls are crowded during the weekends. The shopping malls are a source of temptation. So that way we can also curb our expenditure a bit.

One sure way to overcome a temptation is to succumb to it and then grow out of it. It may look a bit awkward but it helps to overcome successfully.

Malls are not the only place that arouse temptation in a child. Instead, the parent should try to convince the child in a soft way to divert the child's attention.

In today's young parents more than the child it is the parents who are tempted by the malls. Why all the time counsel the child only.
Yes true. We parents need to refrain ourselves first then only we can start counseling the child.

If that's tha case, parents should change their ways as suggested by Taniya. Parents teach their children because children are brought in to this world by the parents. not the other way round.
Love of parents towards offspring cannot be questioned and there is no if and but of it. It is unique.
No one questions about the love of a parent towards the children. But people will question and doubt the parents ignorance when they do not know how to use their love and affection.
Too much of pampering and overindulging in every tantrums they throw over can often spoil the kid.

Exactly. Love of a parent towards children is essential. Parents should have patience to find out what is the best way to get the Best out of their children.

Either way I feel that communication is the key to any successful relationship, no one can be taken for granted , nit even your children . As long as we communicate effectively there will be no overstepping the limits and it will be much easier to convince the children when they tend to be demanding..

That is so logical and also true. We adults normally do not realise how important it is to communicate with the children, we think that since they are little, there is no need. But That is where we go wrong and problems start.
Yes respect comes both ways and every relationship demands it be it a parent or a child. Treating a child as an individual will only enhance their self-respect and sense of responsibility.

Absolutely, communication is important, the activities of conveying information which consists of listening and speaking is important. It manages more and that creates a congenial situation for parents in decision-making.
Parents should fill the gap created by bad modes of communication. It can be achieved only when a congenial atmosphere is there where listening each other and freedom to express (for the children) prevail.
