I seem to be seeing a lot of posts on social media about “entitled kids”, lazy kids, kids who don’t appreciate all that they have, kids who don’t help around the house and yet expect their parents to cater to their every whim. And, the people who comment on these posts are all in agreement, all sharing in the difficulty that is parenting. Parents who are all feeling helpless and overwhelmed with fear of what their kids are turning in to….wondering where did they go wrong? What is the right thing to do? How much therapy is my child going to need in the future????

The part that scares me the most is this complete lack of understanding that seems to exist in these parents who don’t get why their child is behaving this way and the complete lack of knowledge as to what to do with their child and their behavior. I see parents just throwing up their metaphorical arms and resigning to the idea that this is just the way it is…..

Today’s episode is part one of two in which we dive into this topic of entitled and lazy kids and I am going to give you a total of TEN things that we as the parents should be doing to either avoid this problem or correct it if it is currently a struggle in your house. So if you have young ones or know a parent of little ones...be sure to share this episode with them so that they can get a head start in making sure they don’t have to deal with these behaviors at all.
