Some parents buy whatever their children ask, good or bad way? Two Questions type essay IELTS Writing task 2

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?

Rearing up children positively has always been one of the most desirable dreams for many parents. While numbers of parents try to fulfill all the demands of their children, without being judgmental on that, I personally feel, this is not the right way to build a healthy future of child, as it may have lot of detrimental impacts on their personality in a longer run.  

To commence, one of the strongest reasons to deny "never say no" parenting is that such a parenting style may develop stubborn or perverse character in children. As, when children get their demands fulfilled at every now and then, they will develop an obstinate attitude. They might not be able to digest "no" in any case, which can be really dangerous for their over-all growth. This tendency might reduce their patience level and they will even not be able to value their possessions and will start taking things for granted. For instance, when a child asks for an expensive toy which parents find difficult to afford, but still buy it for their child's happiness, the child, in this case, might never learn to accept refusal and will start taking things for granted. Even worse, such children can become short-tempered and self-centered in future. So, I believe such a rearing-up is not good for any child.

Furthermore, such an environment will make children addicted to fulfilment of all desires, which in turn can make them prone to certain rejection sensitivity issues in longer run. Those children who get such kind of parenting, can become ingrate and selfish citizens in the future. This generation will develop a mentality where they find it difficult to accept refusal in further life and this can lead them to go to any extent to fulfil their demand. In worst case, such personality traits my lead them to unlawful or criminal activities too. This can be easily illustrated by many case studies, we see or read in the news, where a boy kills a girl, when she rejects his proposal, or a girl commits suicide when her parents do not allow her to marry with her boyfriend. In all these, I believe the upbringing is the root cause. So, I feel, saying always yes, does bring more harm than benefits for children. 

In conclusion, even though parents might get tempted to say always yes to their children, I believe, such a practice is not positive at all. This will bring a number of unfavorable effects on children, which might make them victim of rejection sensitivity disorders and can even make them social offenders in some cases.

  1. If you let your child have everything they want, they will grow up expecting that to continue into adulthood. They will not learn how to do without or to be patient in their expectations.
