Scene #1
"Mommy, I want this one. Buy this one for me."
"Yes baby, I will"
"Oh, there's another beautiful toy, Mommy. I want it. Please include it too"
"Okay, baby. I will include it"
"Look Mommy, the teddy bear is so cute. I want to add it to my collection. Buy it for me, too."
"Yeah, no problem."
In the next toy section, some new toys are displayed that can catch a kid's attention.
"Look, Mommy. There are lots of toys. Buy this one, and those too. I want all those."
"No baby, you have enough already. You still have new toys at home and you haven't even opened them."
"But Mommy you said that you will buy what I want. You told me that earlier when we are still at home."
"Yes, I told you that baby. But we have bought many already. Next time again, alright"
"No mommy, I want those. You should buy them". After saying these words, the kid started to throw tantrums. He started causing a scene just because his mommy doesn't buy what he want.
Meanwhile,
Scene #2
"Baby, remember what I told you earlier."
"Yes, Mommy I won't ask for new toys. Besides, I still have toys at home. Those are enough for me."
"That's my boy. I'm glad that you understand our situation right now."
"I understand Mom. I am content with what I have now. As long as I can eat, I am happy already."
"Okay, okay. We'll get going so that we can go home early."
"Yes, mom. Let's go"
A child's behavior depends on how a mother raises him/her. That's why it's always important to teach them the important things that they should know when they are still young. They should be taught what is right and wrong and explained to them the reason behind those things.
When we picture out those given scenarios, we can say that the first child is a spoiled one. A child who always wants to get what he likes. While the second one is a simple kid and contented with what he has at the moment. A child who understands his family's situation.
I came up with this topic today, after remembering a child who always throws tantrums whenever his mother can't give him what he wants especially with those foods and toys that he likes.
After thinking about that child's behavior, I realize one thing. Most kids that have that kind of behavior are the ones who are used to being given what they want by their parents. They are used that their parents will always say yes to their requests.
That's why it's really important to teach the kids that not all they want will be given. We, parents, should learn to say NO to our kids if it's needed.
Say NO if it's not necessary for the kids.
Say NO so that kids will not get used to getting what they want.
Say NO so they will practice being contented and grateful for the things that they have.
Say NO so they will know how to value things in life.
Say NO so they will realize that not all things are easy to beget.
Say NO and explain to them what's the reason for that No.

I agree that you should say no to children from time to time so that they can learn to accept that sometimes they won't get everything they want. A child who is raised with a sense of entitlement and feeling that he or she deserves or must have everything they set their sight on, and who may not have a filter to accept disappointment could have trouble adjusting later on in life. Sometimes we love our children so much and we want to give them everything we can, but saying no to them is helping them and teaching them as well.
