Giving kids everything they want feels loving but their can be some serious consequences! Now I don’t want you to take this to the other extreme of punishment based parenting! If you are interested in working on this here are some actions you can focus on:
1. Model accountability by taking ownership for your mistakes.
2. Set clear and consistent expectations with reasonable consequences.
3. Allow children to experience natural consequences of their actions. (Like a lower grade for not completing homework) This can avoid punitive measures.
4. Encourage empathy and perspective taking to help them take responsibility for their actions.
5. Provide loving guidance on their behavior rather than punishment. This focuses on learning from your mistake and providing moral and emotional support.
