Does your family suffer from "affluenza" exhaustion? Are you confused
by the "Me! ME! ME!!!" attitude of your child? Whether your child is
six, sixteen, or thirty-six years old, it may be time for an entitlement
intervention. Change yourself to change your children.
It's easy to judge today's younger generations--children, teens, and
young adults who think they deserve to have their individuality
celebrated and their happiness prioritized. So what happens when your
kid--whom you don't recall lavishing with excessive rewards or
money--acts entitled, as though everything should be about his wants
or her needs? Good news: from any age, you can help your child evolve
into a confident and motivated adult who understands that many of the
best things in life are earned.
Starting with a ten-question quiz to determine "How Entitled Is My
Kid?," Earn It! What to Do When Your Kid Needs an Entitlement
Intervention will teach you how to create a family culture where
responsibilities are honored, praise has meaning, decisions are made
skillfully, and gratitude is second nature. You'll find practical tips
on chores and allowances, friends and social media, co-parenting, and
cultivating true resilience. With family exercises and parent challenges
drawn from real-life family scenarios, this book provides an opportunity
to reflect on how you can adjust your parenting style to create a family
dynamic that nurtures your children into generous, balanced, and
hard-working adults.
