When parents think of how they would wish their children to be when they grow up, morality, kindness, and compassion are usually on the top of their list.

Parents are always keen not to bring up kids who are over-pampered, indisciplined and not compassionate.

However, it can be difficult to determine whether your kids are spoiled as the signs are not always clear.

Here are three signs your kids are terribly spoiled.

1. They drive people away

People are always attracted to kids.

However, when the opposite happens, it could mean your child behaves in a spoiled manner. If other kids don't like playing with your child or other parents discourage their kids from playing with yours, you'll need to check your child's behaviour.

2. They don’t say “thank you”

If your child always expresses gratitude for the good things done to them, this is a sign of discipline.

However, when a child doesn’t express gratitude and instead feels entitled, this means they are terribly spoiled.

3. They start sentences with “I need”

Spoiled children never use polite words when asking for something.

If your kids ask for things as if they are demanding for them, this is a sign that they are spoiled.
