He argues that the real replacement for entitlement is gratitude and contentment, and that giving is the fastest route to both, whether a child gives their time, their money, or their help. It is practical parenting advice for raising kids who value people over possessions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://freedomsprout.com/entitlement/ Quotes to ponder: "If you give your kids everything they want now, expect to keep that up when they leave home, or have very disappointed adult children." "Gratitude and contentment will overcome entitlement." "Giving is the fastest way to show contentment and gratitude."
