Do you know what is the biggest parenting mistake today? Giving your child everything they ask for. Research has proven that children who struggle a little and are made to wait show better resilience and self-control later. Of course, as parents, we want to fulfill their demands and we want to make our children happy, but by giving them everything they want, you're stealing their opportunity of growth. And because of this, children will not have a sense of gratitude. They will keep living in this imaginary world where things are supplied to them, and they'll not be able to connect with the real-world challenges. So if you really want to help your child, stop fulfilling every demand. If your child is asking for 10 things, give them one or two things. Make them wait for some, and do not give them a few things. Remember, these small struggles now is going to help you prepare a stronger adult for tomorrow. So share this reel with your partner and comment guide if you want a guide on what to say when your child is. Always demanding new things every day.
