“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 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 your kids everything
Teaching them the difference between “want” and “need”
What it takes to give kids perspective through service and hard work
The secrets to guiding children to become fulfilled, flourishing adults
With many practical, biblical tips and anecdotes, she teaches Christian parents how to say the ultimate yes as a family by bringing up faith-filled kids who will love God, serve others, and grow into hardworking, thankful, and successful adults. Now with discussion questions, a list of recommended resources, and a sample cell phone agreement for teens, Kristen shows it’s never too late to raise grateful kids.
Get ready to cultivate a spirit of genuine appreciation and create a Jesus-centered home in which your kids don’t just say―but mean!―“thank you” for everything they have.

Saw this book in Barnes and Noble, and for some reason, I was drawn to read it. This should be a must read for all new and slightly experienced parents. These are all things my wife had been saying years, only I rarely listened.
