Parents are creating an "I want it now" generation by indulging children’s every demand on Christmas, say experts. Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts. Those children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risking becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioral consultant Chris Calland says, "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 in to all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate. "
Ms. Calland, who runs "Santa Says No" style sessions with her colleague Nicky Hutchinson, adds, "To provide the gifts our children want, many of us get into so much debt 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 set aside because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for cannot interest him or her now. "
Ms. Calland and Ms. Hutchinson have drawn up 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 power(缠功)".
Ms. Calland says, " All too often we say yes because we want an easier life while the fact is that we’ re only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to. the needs of others and the necessity of hard work. " She adds, "Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this. Be consistent. And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends. "
