Episode 2566:

Jen emphasizes the power of teaching kids resilience and empathy by allowing them to experience life’s ups and downs instead of shielding them from discomfort. By modeling gratitude, encouraging emotional awareness, and expanding their worldview, parents can help children shed entitlement and grow into emotionally intelligent, compassionate individuals.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://thistimeofmine.com/help-ungrateful-entitled-child/

Quotes to ponder:

"Each time we support our kids through difficulty, rather than rescue them from it, we are helping them break free from a victim mentality so they can develop important life skills."

"It’s little things like these that help us move away from 'do what I say, not what I do,' and lead by example instead."

"Helping our kids become more aware of the world around them will encourage them to move away from a shortage mindset so they can begin noticing the abundance in their own lives."
