Synopsis

"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 say the ultimate yes as a family by bringing up faith-filled kids who will love God, serve others, and grow into hardworking, fulfilled, and successful adults.

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.

Grateful Parents: Grateful Kids Finally, about ten years ago, the light began to dawn, and you can’t imagine how disappointed I was. I realized that parenting is not a cause and effect proposition.

Goodreads review by Scott on July 18, 2016

I leapfrogged into this book from another book that mentioned it. I was captured by the title. There were some really helpful practical ideas in this book.

A must-read for Christian parents in this day and age. Super convicted by this quote - “Entitlement didn’t start with my kids. It started with me. I entitled them because I was entitled.”......more

Goodreads review by Laura on June 01, 2016

A must-read for today's Christian parent! I knew this book was going to be good from the very first chapter, because it called me to task on things that I needed to change. Me - the parent. Not just my kids! And these are hard things to do because so much of what goes into raising grateful children......more
