There are instances when certain children display entitlement, leaving you wondering why. No matter what they receive—clothes, shoes, toys, or technology—they always crave more and fail to grasp the concept of delayed gratification. When you deny a request from your child, they may react negatively or exhibit a poor attitude, which can be deeply distressing. You find yourself thinking about what went wrong.
It's important to recognize that you have the power to break this pattern if you observe your child becoming increasingly spoiled and failing to appreciate the things you provide or do for them. The original poster (OP) discovered a method to address her daughter's sense of entitlement but wanted another perspective. The OP's daughter has been persistently asking for a Nintendo Switch. However, due to her poor grades and overall negative demeanor, they decided against getting one for her. In an unfortunate turn of events, the daughter resorted to unacceptable behavior by taking her cousin's Game Boy without permission and deceitfully denying having it. Scroll down for more details!
