S08|06 - How to Not Raise Entitled Kids ...

Crystal the Parenting Coach
About this episode

Do you feel like your kids, or the kids you teach or have influence over- struggle with entitlement? Do they believe they should just HAVE everything- and lack the gratitude or appreciation for it? 

One of you lovely audience mamas reached out to me with this exact question- and I have the answer for her, and for you. Whether it’s entitlement, lying, disrespect, lack of responsibility or any other behaviour you’d like to see change- the answer is here. All in one episode. Come listen. 

In this episode: 

  • What entitlement is and how we can develop gratitude instead
  • Learning is developmental and individual- believe that it’s happening for your kids, and it will (everything is created in consciousness first!)
  • The 2 components to teaching: modelling what we want to see and focusing on relationships, not behaviours
  • How to know if we do have a good connection with our kids, and what to do if we don’t
  • 2 bonus tips for teaching your kids EXACTLY what you want to- without pressure, stress or worry
  • You are doing a MUCH better job than you think you are. Thanks for being a part of this community <3
