Comments about ‘Mormon Parenting: Excerpts from 'The Entitlement Trap' by Linda and Richard Eyre’

Can't wait to get my hands on this book!
It looks like the Eyres not only dissect the problem of entitlement attitudes in kids.....they also suggest real solutions for it based on helping children to feel the pride and responsibility of ownership.

Very good article: I have worked with youth for twenty years and comparing the youth of today to the youth of 1990 cannot be done. The Eyres are right on cant wait to get the book. It seems that there has always been entitlement with kids but what I have noticed is that as technology grows so does the entitlement of children. Twenty years ago technology was basically in the home, video games, phones, and homework. Even though music was mobile with a walkman and video games were starting to be mobile, mostly kids were in a home somewhere.
Well children now are on the constant move with their technology, it has taken them away from the home more, where as parents can talk or text them anytime. We as adults think it is a great tool but its hardly ever face to face. Twenty years ago parents had to talk with their children face to face to check on them which forced parents to look for their children. I believe the more technological we get the more parents take a bake seat, hence comes more entitlement if it is not kept in balance.
