Publisher's summary

"But everyone else has it." "If you loved me, you'd get it for me!" When you hear these comments from your kids, it can be tough not to cave. You love your children - don't you want them to be happy and to fit in?

Kristen Welch knows firsthand that it's not that easy. In fact she's found out that when you say yes too often, it's not only hard on your peace of mind and your wallet - it actually puts your kids at long-term risk.

In Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Kristen shares the ups and downs in her own family's journey of discovering why it's healthiest not to give one's kids everything. Teaching them the difference between "want" and "need" is the first step in the right direction. With many practical tips and anecdotes, she shares how to help kids become hardworking, fulfilled, and successful adults.

Christian/Faith-based context.

I enjoyed it! My parenting style is similar with the exception of a God-centered approach. It reminds me that I need to try a little more, since it is my idea style. Just a great read if you want to read about someone else’s approach on intentional parenting.

Examples to follow. Advice that has been tested and proven.

The flow of the book kept my attention. I felt like I wanted to hear more and didn't want the book to end. The words and advice were truly centered around God. Glory to Jesus was given in every example.

Great for everyone mom in the "pulling hair out" stage

While I sat here questioning my every move, my thoughts flew back to this book that I had purchased some months ago. I was drawn to it and so thankful for the listen. She doesn't tell you what to do, she reminds you why you do it.

a good meditation

This book is perfect for meditating on what is important as a parent. There are some practical ideas but not many. Mostly the advice is general and provides much needed reminders in a culture which fosters entitlement.

A Great Read for Parents

This is a practical perspective on parenting against the entitled that American Society endorses. Welch gives practical scenarios and is able to back her parenting style up from a Christian foundation. A must read for parents who do not want their children to fall prey to the mentality of the times.
