10 ways to not raise a brat: Don’t call them more than once in the morning to wake up for school. Or make them set their own alarm clock. Stop doing their laundry. Make them clean up behind themselves or confiscate their stuff. Expect them to help get dinner on the table, and to clean up afterwards. Don’t buy them a “treat” every time you go shopping, etc. Teach them how to be responsible for their own school work and make them be accountable. Don’t allow or reward whining by giving in. As often as possible, allow natural consequences to happen. Don’t intervene. They can be some of the best teachers. Teach them to be independent at an early age, and continue to let them mature into further independence. While you should love your child, let them know you are there for them as they grow, do not baby them. At age 3 or age 13. That makes for an awful 21 year old who feels entitled to everything and won’t get a job and being responsible for themselves.
