When parenting an adopted child (and your own children), is it ok to spoil them or to treat them like your own, meaning, they don't get the special treatment in siblings fight (i.e. not always right), they get the same tv hours...etc...?





I mostly talking about adopted kids who had a difficult childhood prior to being adopted.When parenting an adopted child (and your own children), is it ok to spoil them or to treat them (read on)?
If a child had a difficult or traumatic childhood, you should be more understanding to their needs if they become upset or scared. Sit there and comfort them. Reassure them that the bad times are over. ... That rule is regardless of if they are adopted or your own.





t.v hours and who is right or wrong in a fight shouldn't depend on if the kid is adopted either. If you catch the kids in a fight - they should both be told how they should of handled the disagreement then punished. And you should try to help them both understand the other one's point of view.





True, the adopted kid may have had a harder life before coming into your home. And yes - it would be nice if you could even things up on behalf of the world. But it isn't fair to be hard on your own children simply because they aren't adopted.When parenting an adopted child (and your own children), is it ok to spoil them or to treat them (read on)?
Adopted kids should be treated like any other kid - just like normal. This may be difficult to start with but will work in the end.





There will be issues that arise that will need to be managed; specifically behavoural issues related to the adoption - you need to be understanding but firm. And no, they shouldn't be spoilt - they will get used to it and any other children will resent it.





They're part of the household or they are not; they are no more or less important than anybody else.
Have you ever watched the dog whisperer on TV? much of what he preaches applies to humans. We are animals too. Live in the now. If they went through something tough don't treat them differently because of it. Let them know that is over and now we are moving forward. It is best to treat them as your own to be a fair and compassionate person.
am, dont spoil them, be normal with them, punish when bold, reward when good. do u want them to grow up believing that they are different/superior even more different than they already will feel? obviously be kind to them but they still need discipline and they need to knw they cant have everything they want!and siblings will resent them if they get treated better/different.
treat them the same as you would your bio children in every way. because the child is your child now, and your bio child might feel slighted if the adopted child gets away with everything. it goes both ways. my parents always gave us equal treatment.
They should get the same treatment as your other kids becasue if you dont your other kids will start to hate the adoptive kid
