Deep dives
The Growing Entitlement Mentality in Children
Studies show that today's kids are more entitled than previous generations. The entitlement mentality is defined as the belief that one deserves things without having to work for them, just because of who they are. Adversity is seen as the opposite of entitlement, as it teaches children the value of hard work and denies the entitlement mentality. Entitlement can be detrimental to a child's future, as it goes against the reality that in life, things are not simply given based on one's identity.
Replacing Entitlement with Gratitude and Contentment
To prevent children from growing up entitled, it is important to replace entitlement with gratitude. Teaching kids that things are not given to them without reason and instilling contentment and gratitude can help them appreciate what they have. Giving children everything they want now can lead to disappointment later. Teaching them to give and be grateful for what they have, and involving them in acts of giving, can shift their focus from material possessions to appreciating people and foster a sense of what truly matters in life.
