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.

fantastic guide for parenthood

this wasn't really great book for me. I am a mother of an 11 year old and an 8 year old and we struggle with the same things as she does. she had a lot of really good ideas that I plan on putting into practice with my own family hopefully create a good foundation for my children with their love of God, their generosity, and desire to serve others. would definitely recommend to any parent looking to raise well-rounded grateful children.

I will be reading this book many more times!

I think every parent who wants grateful Christ centered kids should read this book and take it to heart! It is challenging, encouraging and well written. I am so thankful Kristen Welch followed Gods leading to write this book!

An eye opener,

Overall it's a good read, it's a bit repetitive but gives a great perspective of being grateful vs. being entitled

Enlightening

I found myself nodding my head a lot with what she was saying. I've changed a few things in my household since reading this book. I've gone back to attending church regularly as well. If you don't want to read or hear about bible stories or bible verses, don't buy this book.
