[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 672139, member: 1550"] I think giving everying a child wants to him or her just because she wants it, or her friend has it, causes poor self esteem. I don't think kids nowadays have particularly good self-esteem. Do they feel entitled? YES! They are two different issues. Self-esteem happens when a person achieves on his own, not just by being told he is wonderful while he accomplishes nothing. At least, that's how I see it...Entitlement happens when we load our kids with toys without their having earned anything...they just expect it to go on a nd on and too often....it does. How many teens work part time in high school these days to buy some of their own things? How many parents think, "B-b-but that will make it too hard for my child in school!" Yet we did it. [/QUOTE]
