- Set certain rules and limits for the son. Teach him that he can have some things, but he should also know the right limits.

- If you already set some limits and rules, that be loyal to them always. Keep the rules and the order. This will prevent the son becoming spoiled and besides that, he will really become more responsible and punctual.
- Never do something in ask for something else. If you do this thing to him that he will learn that people always do things in return of something. This in its turn will make him really spoiled and he will just do this to you when you become older.
- Some dads are so afraid to disappoint their sons that they literally do anything for them. This is really wrong, because your son will end up being even more spoiled than you thought. It will make you sad for sure, seeing him sad. However, if he is sad, then be just okay with it. He has to learn that not everything he desires to have he can have.
- Do praise your son but do not tell him that he is always speaking right. In this case he will tell whatever his mind blows and will talk without even thinking. While this is really wrong thing to do because all you want to do is teach your son how to think before speaking. So if he tells something which is not good to say, you had better tell him about it and get angry.
- If he does something wrong then get angry with him and show your angriness. He must really understand that he did something wrong.
