As an experienced grandpa, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the whole notion of spoiled children is a myth invented by exasperated parents. Children are only spoiled if it makes them bad. Loving care teaches love and care. We can imagine that up until very recent times, when the united family has been abandoned in favor of nuclear consumption and strait-laced state indoctrination, all children everywhere were raised by Nana and taught by Grandpa, while Mom hoed the garden and Dad hunted. No amount of iPads and Xboxes and Head Starts will ever replace Nana and Grandpa's daily personal attention.
