Number-one New York Times bestselling authors Richard and Linda Eyre,
have spent the last twenty-five years helping parents nurture strong,
healthy families. Now they've synthesized their vast experience in an
essential blueprint to instilling children with a sense of ownership,
responsibility, and self-sufficiency.
At the heart of their plan is the "Family Economy" complete with a
family bank, checkbooks for kids, and a system of initiative-building
responsibilities that teaches kids to earn money for the things they
want. The motivation carries over to ownership of their own decisions,
values, and goals. Anecdotal, time-tested, and gently humorous, The
Entitlement Trap challenges some of the sacred cows of parenting and
replaces them with values that will save kids (and their parents) from a
lifetime of dependence and disabling debt.
