TOPIC: In what way is overindulgence of children harmful? The text you should base your composition on is Are You Giving Your Kids Too Much?
【正确答案】：Overindulgence of children can be harmful in the following ways. First, children with too many privileges may, to some degree, become greedy self-centered, ungrateful and insensitive to the needs and feelings of others,including their parents. Second, when parents are reluctant to stand up to their children's unreasonable demands,the hesitation not only impairs the parents'ability to set limits, it also sours the parent-child relationship to some degree, robbing them of some of the happiness and mutual respect. Third, overindulged children with too many material possessions are less creative in their play because they are not as challenged as the children with fewer playthings. They also have fewer opportunities to learn the value of money. And if every requested object is given on demand, children will have less experience in learning to deal with a delay in gratification which is very important in one's future life.
