Why Giving Your Child Everything Will Hurt Them in the Job Market
By William Rigby

In todays world parents give their kids just about everything. That is, If the parents can afford it.

They need money, mom or dad gives it to them. If they need gas for their car, mom or dad whips out the gas credit card and sends them on their way. Car insurance? Yep, mom and dad just pay it for them. Of course they will need a car too for all this other stuff. Need a car? Sure says the parents and wala, they have a car.

What are you teaching your children by giving them everything they want?

What you are teaching them is to be dependent on someone else or other people for all their needs. Just like todays government is doing. There's a direct connection there too but that is a story for another day.

What happens when the kids actually have to go out and get a job for themselves, pay their own bills and provide the essentials for themselves? They are at a huge disadvantage.

Kids raised by parents who provide everything for them have no clue on how to ask for what they want in the real world. This being a direct effect by expecting someone else to take care of them.

When they go on job interviews, instead of saying that they want the job, they just assume it is going to be provided for them. A child that has had to pay his own stuff, make his own decisions about what he really needs and spends his or her own money on, will actually ask for the job. Who do think is going to get it? The one who wants it! Or the one who thinks that it is owed to them.

Don't let your kid grow up thinking that they are owed anything. Let them make their own decisions. Earn their own money. If they want to save money on things like discount basketball shoes head on over to http://www.discountbasketballshoes.org/.
