When everything is handed to a ***** - you are teaching him that he doesn't need to do anything in life to get things. You are really doing him a disservice. If you give them 'stuff' all the time, they will expect that when they are older - thinking they are entitled - and then when they are out in the real world and they find out that it doesn't work that way - they will have a very difficult time coping. So as a parent, it’s important that you teach your ***** the value of **** work and earning things. He needs to make that integral connection between making an effort and achieving success. It makes it more rewarding when you've worked for something.
