Full Seminar Description
This one-day seminar offers a cognitive-behavioral understanding of overindulgent parents' intense cognitive distortions, and offers two levels of treatment. One level includes advice for parents who are overindulging, but their children are not yet demonstrating conduct disorders. The second is a clinical level of treatment, using cognitive-behavioral therapy, family counseling and action-focused techniques, to treat families that are masking important family issues. Although many overindulgent parents are parents who love their children, the research is telling us that this is not true of all overindulgent parents. Therefore, parents that overindulge their children as a mask for abuse will be examined. Additional current research and case studies on overindulgence will be covered as well.

Overindulgence of children has become a serious issue leading children and teens to conduct disorder symptoms. Overindulged children are creating complex community problems, complications for educators and are clogging our legal system. Bright and loving parents, with intense cognitive distortions, confuse love with overindulgence. Their overindulgences stop them from mentoring their children, leading children to develop what the instructor has termed "Lord of the Flies" Syndrome — a life without boundaries, balance and conscience. The complications of overindulging children include symptoms of conduct disorder, acute self-centeredness, intense detachment leading to anger and resentment fueling misbehavior, excessive dependency, "its-all-about-me" entitlement, manipulation, loss of self-esteem, missing social skills and impulsiveness.
