About this listen

Whenever Amy McCready mentions the "entitlement epidemic" to a group of parents, she is inevitably met with eye rolls, nodding heads, and loaded comments about affected children. It seems everywhere one looks, there are preschoolers who only behave in the grocery store for a treat, narcissistic teenagers posting selfies across all forms of social media, and adult children living off their parents.

Parenting expert Amy McCready reveals in this book that the solution is to help kids develop healthy attitudes in life. By setting up limits with consequences and training them in responsible behavior and decision making, parents can rid their homes of the entitlement epidemic and raise confident, resilient, and successful children. Whether parents are starting from scratch with a young toddler or navigating the teen years, they will find in this book proven strategies to effectively quell entitled attitudes in their children.

I love this book. I have a tattered copy on my bookshelf that I revisit when we fall out of the good habits. Now that I’ve downloaded the audible, I can listen in for a refresher.
I don’t love it when books are narrated by someone other than the author, because I think inflection is important. I honestly thought this was narrated by a Siri-type voice, but I’m willing to overlook that for the great content.

I’ve read, re-read and now listened

Same content could've been delivered in half the pages, but still - VERY helpful and practical! So many great ideas to try out and apply in a variety of situations. Thanks Amy!

Great book. Easy to follow.

This book has really good ideas for un-entitling your children. I can tell already that these ideas are working. I’m going to go back through and reread the print edition (which I got from the library) so I don’t have to buy on audible and a paper copy. If you do the audio book be prepped to take notes otherwise there is no way you’ll remember it all, hence why I’m back for the print edition.

Great book with many tools
