Overindulged kids with no impulse control don’t just grow up entitled — they grow up addicted, restless, and unable to function in normal life.

Dr. Scott Anderson explains the dangerous recipe: parents who give everything, say “yes” to everything, and provide zero structure or boundaries create children who need constant high stimulation… and turn to drugs, alcohol, gaming, and chaos to get it.

You’ll see exactly how this leads to binge/fail cycles, avoidance of responsibility, and lifelong patterns of self-sabotage. The hard truth? Most parents don’t mean to do this — but the result is the same.

If you were spoiled, had little discipline, or now struggle with impulse control, procrastination, and “I’ll do it later” syndrome… this episode reveals why and how to fix it.
