The Message About "Spoiled Kids" We All Need This Holiday Season
Briefly

"You don't make spoiled kids by saying 'yes' too much. You make spoiled kids by saying 'no' and then when they cry and whine and yell you change your mind."
"I'm not worried about letting my kids indulge from time to time. I'm not worried about them having too much fun or being too happy... But when I do set a boundary it is held and then I tell them what they can do, because telling them what they can do is more empowering than telling them what they can't."
