2017 | Health & Fitness

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. We're quick to judge today's younger generations-children, teens, and young adults who seem to think they deserve to always 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 if 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. In Earn It! What to Do When Your Kid Needs an Entitlement Intervention, we learn to create a family culture where responsibilities are honored, praise has meaning, decisions are made skillfully, and gratitude becomes second nature. You'll find tips on chores and allowances, friends and social media, co-parenting, and cultivating true resilience.

With real-life examples, eye-opening exercises, and family activities, this book shows how we can adjust our parenting style for a family dynamic that nurtures children to be generous, balanced, hard-working adults.
