Facing Down Entitlement in an Instant Gratification Culture
About this episode
This episode explores the roots of entitlement in children and the impact of an instant gratification culture on their ability to cope and problem solve.
Entitlement shows up in many families — whether it’s resistance to chores, frustration when things don’t go their way, or racing through Christmas gifts and asking, “Is that it?” In this episode, we break down the roots of entitlement in kids and why today’s instant gratification culture makes it even harder for them to wait, cope, and problem solve.
