Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas,say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish,claim the education analysts.
Consumersavvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said,“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate.”
Ms Calland,who runs “Santa Says No”
style sessions with
colleague Nicky Hutchinson,added,“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped,once opened,are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for,they have now lost interest in.”
Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”.
