In modern society, raising children has become an increasingly significant challenge for parents. It is essential to develop children's personalities and life skills.

Mrs. Duong Thi Thu Thanh, a Master of Psychology currently working at the Viet Soft Skills Company Limited, explained that when parents meet all of their children's demands without setting limits or rules, they inadvertently create an environment that lacks challenges and opportunities for them to learn.

By providing everything for their children without any effort required from the children, parents may lead them to confuse wants with needs. This can result in children developing the misconception that happiness depends on material possessions, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction when they do not achieve all of their desires.

When children have all their needs met effortlessly, they may develop the belief that a person's worth is determined by the amount and quality of wealth they possess. This mindset can lead to unhealthy competition and the misconception that money can solve all problems.

Children who receive everything without making an effort often take things for granted. As a result, they may become careless about their belongings and indifferent when things are broken or lost. Overindulgence can also lead children to think that they do not need to follow rules. When rules are not consistently enforced, children may develop a habit of breaking them and showing disrespect toward others.

Ms. N. residing in Thanh Khe Tay Ward, Thanh Khe District, Da Nang, shared about the difficulties of raising children in today's challenging environment.

She mentioned "I used to take my child to school, but he refused to attend class. I tried every way to persuade him, but I failed. Sometimes, I even had to bring him back home. I felt very worried".

Meanwhile, Mr. H., 45, a resident of Hai Chau District, expressed his concerns about his daughter who is in grade 9 but does not know how to do any household chores.

Additionally, when she goes to class or goes out, she feels shy and does not dare to express her opinions or interact with others. As a result, she often isolates herself.

"I've encouraged my daughter to participate in sports or spend time with friends, but she refuses. I'm just worried that she may be depressed” Mr. H. shared.

Master of Psychology Duong Thi Thu Thanh believes that many children lack independence skills and the ability to face challenges. If parents continue to indulge without setting limits, children will have difficulty adapting to the social environment and developing necessary life skills.

In today's information-driven environment, to avoid the negative consequences of overindulgence, parents should set clear limits, rules and expectations for their children. In particular, they should allow their children to solve problems and make decisions, as well as guide them on financial management, personal responsibility and communication skills.

Moreover, parents need to change their family's living habits, always pay attention to all their children's activities, and create a safe environment for children to experience success as well as failure to learn from.

Parents can help their children develop into confident, independent and responsible individuals - ready to face challenges in life.

On the other hand, it is a necessary for schools organise extracurricular activities and practice sessions, so that pupils have the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned to life, confidently face all challenges and develop comprehensively.
