There have always been considerable discussions about whether allowing children to do

whatever they like and satisfying all their requirements are appropriate or not. I believe that
over-indulgence is not good for two main reasons and does have long-term impacts, which I
will discuss below.
The foremost reason is that indulging too much may pose a threat to children’s personality.
Providing whatever a child wants can turn him into a pestering and reliant person. For
instance, if a boy requires his mom to buy him an over-expensive toy, his mom accepts
uncontrollably, he tends to ask for unnecessary things over and over again. Another widely-
observed reason is that children probably do not appreciate the money and efforts of their
parents. Since they are over-protected, they have no clue of achieving goals through
challenges and difficulties, they think that everything is free and existing by nature.
As a result, this can weaken their abilities to cope with problems. The dependence on
parents may deprive them of the motivation to strive in life. To illustrate, people who are
given generous permissions when they are small are unlikely to be able to budget and
manage their own finances. A well-known impact of this is misbehavior. Children are
vulnerable to negative influences, therefore without parents’ close supervision, they may
adopt harmful habits. Many children in Vietnam use profanities at an early age as their
parents allow them to play games at Internet shops where cussing is the norm.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that granting children all of their wishes is completely not
beneficial and does have adverse effects in the future.
