How to Unspoil Your Spoiled Brat Divalette/Devilette part 1 was shared here. For the full article, please READ HERE.
Now for part two, I raised a few suggestions that might help parents out there, when they are faced with daunting situations that will surely sap the energy out of them if they will not curb the cues that their child has been exhibiting to be called a “spoiled brat” or divalette.
- Be firm.
- Avoid empty threats with clear and short instructions.
- Be consistent.
- Avoid overprotecting your child by rushing in to “rescue” them.
- Avoid overindulging in material things. How many dolls can your little girl play with her two hands? How many gadgets can a little boy handle at the same time?
- Stay on track despite being saddled with responsibilities that make you want to say yes because you are just tired.
- Spend time and not money on your children.
Can you answer these questions regarding the way you bring up your child?
1. Do you buy your child something every time you go to stores?
2. Do you allow your child to run around in places they are not supposed to roam, like churches, restaurants, supermarkets and doctor’s clinics?
3. Do you allow your child to throw temper tantrums in public places?
4. Do you allow your child to hit and disrespect you (and others as well)?
5. Do you give your child what she wants just so she will stop crying?
