[quote=Anonymous]I believe there are studies on this that tend to indicate the more spoiled a child is, the earlier they tend to loose that childhood excitement in doing things. And the less spoiled a child is, they tend to carry on that excitement for a longer period of time. If your 9 year old does not respond with being excited about doing something fun and instead starts to argue with you about pursing alternatives, they might be getting their own way 'aka spoiled' too often. It's ok to tell your spoiled children NO and make them do some chores around the house. Then, when you determine it is the right time to do something fun, they should be more receptive to the idea. This situation probably does not apply to many families directly, but it could and I wanted to offer it up as an idea to address this problem of being "too cool."[/quote]
