How to Avoid Raising An Entitled Child

20 minutes

As parents we naturally want to make things easier for our children and we want them to have opportunities that we didn’t have, but if you make their lives too easy, then they’re not gonna be resilient enough for the world. If you make life too easy, it can become a burden. Too much prosperity can create apathy and can kill ambition, which is something we need to be aware of when parenting. Principles to teach your children include hard work, service, and gratitude. Help them expect to bless others and in times of need, be blessed by others.

“There are some people around us who are significantly wealthy whose kids turn up and serve. They’re doing all sorts of incredible stuff, not looking to get paid for helping, serving, in the community and beyond, and they wouldn’t have to work for a hundred lifetimes if they want to. It’s got nothing to do with circumstance and everything to do with how they’re raised.” 13:00
