If children are spoiled, they become irresponsible adults - TRUE or FALSE?

Question

If children are spoiled, they become irresponsible adults - TRUE or FALSE?

Answer 1

It depends.

Answer 2

even if they are spoiled, but they are taught what is right and the parents set an example, i think it wouldn't be a reason for the child to become irresponsible...

Answer 3

It depends. You need to be more precise. There so many ways you can spoiled the kids. But u can never spoiled them with too much love. Okay, if you give them too much of everything and not teaching them some responsibilities. Yes, maybe they be irresponsible. Being a parents to a child, you have to show them and spend time with them, most than likely they look up to the parents.  You have to be a good example to the child. You cannot just tell them something and you dont really do it urself. To see is to believe. Children works differently than adults, they need explaining and showing  for them to really understand. Thats why we need to be patience and spend more time with them. Just being there for them and listening to them and communicate with them.

Answer 4

Not all spoiled children become irresponsible adults.  Just like not all well-behaved children become responsible adults.  Although children who had their whims and caprices while they were young would likely expect the same in their adulthood but that doesn't mean they have become irresponsible.  It would be that accustomed to having their way would make them perfectionists or domineering in life and in their work.  And in contrast, those who have not had the fortune of a good life while still young could turn out to be reckless and impudent...in wanting and never satisfied with what they have, with their life or their work thus becoming irresponsible individuals.

Answer 5

I believe that if a child is spoiled there are two factors which determine if they will be irresponsible

1.  How spoiled they are



2.  Their outside life

If they were extremely spoiled they would develop a sense of entitlement which would probably make them irresponsible.

But if they were just a little spoiled, say having desert every or some other little thing, than I don't think it affects them quite as badly

If their life outside of the home was difficult, or they were rejected by the other kids they may well be fine.

Answer 6

So TRUE!

Answer 7

True.  Spare the rod and spoil the child, I say.

My Mom never spared the rod with me.   And my Dad would have used the bolo,  if my Mom had not warned me to make a run for it.

So, I grew up well behaved.   A model citizen in my place of exile in the Middle East.   No walls around me.  No bars imprison me.  But I'm a model prisoner none the less.

Answer 8

True, I believe kids will be spoiled to a certian extent but they should not be spoiled TOO much. You don't want your child thinking that the world is evolved around them when they become adults or you will find them in a police station with criminal charges against them.

I think its best to stay firm and consistant with teaching them right from wrong. The results would give them good reasoning ability and common sense.

Answer 9

First, the definition of spoiled is used differently.  Just because someone is affluent and gets a lot of stuff does not mean the parents indulge every whim or do not discipline the child.

However, if a child is not properly disciplined, they will have problems in life.  But these problems can be overcome, if a person wants to be more than the product of his upbringing.

There is no reason to assume that a person with poor parents has to remain in the condition produced by that poor parenting.  People put themselves through college, law school, and medical school if they have great desire, even if the parents can't afford it and don't support that decision, so a person who realizes he has character deficiencies can also become knowledgeable about that and work to overcome it.

Answer 10

Thats a generalization.  Besides the term "spoiled" is too subjective.  Not enough data to predict any future behavior.

Answer 11

most cases true

Answer 12

True

Answer 13

True...

Answer 14

There is a large possibility. If a child is spoiled in a way that everything is taken care of for him and provided for him, as he grows older, and the parents still allow him to be over pampered.. he could take serious things lightly ..etc etc.
