The spoiled child is a symptom of dysfunctional relationships within the family and the tragedy goes far beyond the spoiled child. The tragedy will echo through generations of spoiled and/or abused children. Spoiled children often grow up to be dysfunctional parents who spoil and/or abuse their own children. The reality of spoiled children should be of concern to the community as a whole, for spoiled children are a threat to the long term integrity of the community and its members. The spoiled child has not learned to take good care of self because the parents are not taking good care of themselves. The spoiled child does not have healthy role models to imitate. The spoiled child does not know how to be responsible through being open and honest in authentic responses to those nearest and dearest to them. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
