It's only worthwhile to get things by working... so high inheritance tax? 100%?

The premise is pretty clear common sense, but saying "rates of childhood depression have skyrocketed since the 50s" is pretty debateable. Depression generally is a lot better diagnosed and understood now. A more accurate statement would be "DIAGNOSED depression has skyrocketed".

Reminds me of my cousin, my uncle bought him a brand new BMW when he graduated high school. However my cousin did do well in high school and doing great in college. As long as your kid works hard why not spoil them here and there.

This is so true. Another thing we need to stop doing is giving trophy's to everyone. If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose.

When I was growing up (I still am technically, I'm 16) I didn't really ask for much. I had a decent amount of toys to play with, so me and my brother were always entertaining ourselves. Later on, like when I was 12-13 I got an Xbox 360 and I didn't get to play the games I really wanted to, except for Halo 3 and a few other gems from.
Now, technically, I was happy with what I got if it wasn't for the extensive bullying I recieved at school. -
I am like: "Can I buy some sweets?", and my mum, "NO we have fruits".

I fully intend to nitpick the first ten seconds: I'd say Vitamins A and C are much more important than telling your kid "No." Discipline's certainly necessary - and I like the intention behind this video (parents shouldn't spoil their kids) - but that hyperbole grated on me a little. Saying "No" will not prevent your child going blind or getting scurvy.

When I was little I didnt really want anything always bought things for my own money and got free things at my birthday or other celebrations and I didnt really want toys I would just buy what I really needed so I mostly got money and I was really happy.

I mean, I get what I want, but it takes years to get it. I wanted a Laptop in 3rd grade? It took me until 7th grade to get one.
this year for Christmas, All I've gotten was a $2.50 sketchbook and a set of Prismacolor pencils. And that's it. As a little kid, I was a bit affluent, but as I've gotten older, I've learned to become humble. -
This is why we have a generation of SJWs.

I thought someone was going to drop the N-word, iDubbbz style.
If you're a parent, is your child getting enough Vitamin N? It may be the most important thing you can give them. But what exactly does Vitamin N do? Watch this video to find out.

If you’re a parent, or plan to be one, it might be more important to your child’s growth than all other vitamins combined. And only you, a parent, can provide it. I call it Vitamin N. The word “No.” More and more children, I find, are suffering from Vitamin N deficiency. And they, their parents, and our entire culture are paying the price. Let me illustrate my point with a story that’s quite typical. A father, I’ll call him Bill, gave his son, age five, pretty much everything the little boy asked for. Like most parents, Bill wanted more than anything for his son to be happy. But he wasn’t. Instead he was petulant, moody, and often sullen. He was also having problems getting along with other children. In addition, he was very demanding and rarely if ever expressed any appreciation, let alone gratitude, for all the things Bill and his wife were giving him. Was his son depressed, Bill wanted to know? Did he need therapy? His son, I told him, was suffering the predictable ill effects of being over-indulged. What he needed was a healthy and steady dose of Vitamin N. Over-indulgence–a deficiency of Vitamin N—leads to its own form of addiction. When the point of diminishing returns is passed (and it’s passed fairly early on), the receiving of things begins to generate nothing but want for more things. One terrible effect of this is that our children are becoming accustomed to a material standard that’s out of kilter with what they can ever hope to achieve as adults. Consider also that many, if not most, children attain this level of affluence not by working, sacrificing, or doing their best, but by whining, demanding, and manipulating. So in the process of inflating their material expectations, we also teach children that something can be had for next to nothing. Not only is that a falsehood, it’s also one of the most dangerous, destructive attitudes a person can acquire. This may go a long way toward explaining why the mental health of children in the 1950s – when kids got a lot less -- was significantly better than the mental health of today’s kids. Since the ‘50s, and especially in the last few decades, as indulgence has become the parenting norm, the rates of child and teen depression have skyrocketed. Children who grow up believing in the something-for-nothing fairy tale are likely to become emotionally stunted, self-centered adults. Then, when they themselves become parents, they’re likely to overdose their children with material things – the piles of toys, plushies, and gadgets one finds scattered around most households. In that way, over indulgence—a deficiency of Vitamin N—becomes an inherited disease, an addiction passed from one generation to the next. This also explains why children who get too much of what they want rarely take proper care of anything they have. Why should they? After all, experience tells them that more is always on the way.
