These children are so used to responding to their own needs that they have little sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others. Good manners are lacking because they have not been demanded by parents. Internal limits and self-discipline quite often are not developed in these children. Procrastination and clever work-avoidance techniques are used. They do not want to deal with the facts and, therefore, use half-truths, blaming others, excuses, manipulations, and outright untruths.
Parents are the most important influence in the life of a child.
By becoming personally involved in training their children in values, parents will help their children be successful later in life. Parents should expect that their child will carry out these responsibilities without being reminded. These tasks help create an internal sense of doing the right thing. If you want to see what children can do, then stop giving them things. Getting too much for too little effort reduces not only motivation but creativity as well.
