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.

Thank God for Kristen Welch
"We live in a culture that is not only obsessed in making kids happy by giving
them everything they want but also trying to keep them happy. It's an impossible, exhausting task.
But instead of making kids happier, it just makes them want more, and more often leads to
In a child-centered home, kids expect more of us and less of themselves.
A child-centered home puts a strain on your marriage "

Very religion based
I like the premise of the book and I did find it had good information but, while I’m not anti-religion in the least, I am agnostic and this book is written from a very religious perspective. It made the narrative really difficult for me to remain interested in or to find relatable. I almost set it down a number of times because of it. I feel many of the same points could have been made with less of a religion focus. It would have been nice to have known ahead of time how heavily the topic of gratitude relied on the author’s spirituality experience and opinions. A different approach would have made it a more inclusive book for all readers.

To the roots, where actual change is possible
The titled made me want to read this book, the suggestion of a Christian friend put my hopes high, reading reviews that it was “too Christian” confirmed that these hopes would probably be met - and now, I am not(!) disappointed but am leaving the book behind encouraged that our children may walk away from our imperfect raising-them having learned gratefulness, especially if we heed Kristen’s advice. Now I know better how to even pray for results.
Kristen gives practical advice as well as lots of encouragement with personal experiences. Thank you, Kristen!

Over the top Christian!
The underlying messages were good but it was lost on me because it was so Christian. The title and overview should definitely reflect the Christian aspect of this book.

Misleading Title
The title is misleading because there is very little advice about preventing entitlement in kids in this book. The major theme is raising Christian kids devoted to god, which is fine if you are looking for an 8 hour Christian sermon. If you are not looking for a religous lecture then find another book that may have some actually everyday tips and advice for raising grateful kids.

Bible humping guided as wise words.
Bible humping guided as wise words. unfortunate waste of a credit. no problem with ppl being religious, but keep your research and content secular. take a page from Brene Brown.
