Some parents buy their children whatever they ask for, and allow their children to do whatever they

want. Is this a good way to raise children?

What consequences could this style of parenting have for children as they get older?

Parental permissiveness is rising among some in today's culture. They don't give their kids
enough correction, and occasionally they overspend on their purchases. This article will examine these
effects and argue that raising kids in that manner is not ideal because it will harm them in the long run.

Although it is easy to comprehend that parents would want to buy their kids expensive toys and
let them run around free of control, this is not truly a good parenting style. Simply put, having too many
toys discourages kids from developing social skills like sharing and pushes them to be materialistic. It
also gives kids a sense of expectation and even a position of authority over their parents after they have
requested the toys. Giving kids too much independence is a case in point. Needless to say,  there are
numerous risks in this world from which kids need to be protected. For parents to help them grow up to
be responsible individuals, children also need principles and boundaries.

Children raised by parents who insist on this lenient parenting style will develop values that are
substantially different from those of stricter parents. Because of this, children who were never required
to study will ultimately have lower grades in school, and those who received everything they wanted as
children will expect the same thing as adults, who will expect everything to come easy. In this case, they
won't have the happy, fulfilling lives their parents had planned for.

All in all, parents should create rules and boundaries for their kids and use caution when
rewarding them, despite the temptation to give kids whatever they desire. Children could develop a bad
attitude that negatively impacts them and others if parents fail to regulate even the most basic level of
discipline.
