Stop Pampering

Maturity comes from making mistakes so let your kids trip or even fall!

Stop Pampering

They will be better for it in the long run.

Stop Pampering

Do you want your kids to grow up to be responsible people? Stop pampering them. Allow them to go through the natural consequences of their mistakes. Make sure that they experience the rigors of honest work. Especially chores around the house. Nobody ultimately feels good about themselves when everything is done for them, or when they are always being bailed out of their own routine dereliction. I cannot tell you the number of kids I work with every day who resent their parents for everything they do to make their lives easier!

If your child is doing all they can to fulfill life’s responsibilities then blessings are in order. However, if they show no interest in anything but their own comfort- pampering them makes us complicit in their dereliction and demise.
