Editor's note: This article was originally published on September 20, 2019. It has since been updated. Ungrateful children become selfish adults. This is simply a fact. Luckily for us, there are parents out there who fix these troublesome behavior patterns with tough love and important life lessons rather than letting their children grow up to become unbearable individuals. Haley Hassell is one of those parents. When her six-year-old daughter threw a tantrum after receiving a brand new pencil case that her mother had gone to three different stores to find, ultimately throwing it in the trash, the shocked mother decided to use the incident as a learning opportunity. She took to the social media platform Facebook to explain how she was able to control her anger and teach her daughter a valuable lesson.
