Entitlement, according to Dr. John Townsend, is “a belief that I am exempt from responsibility and that I am owed special treatment.” Unfortunately, you don’t have to look too far today to find entitled kids–and adults!

As Dr. Townsend states, “This isn’t a generational problem; it’s a human problem.”

In this episode, Dr. Townsend helps parents learn how to not raise entitled kids. An incredibly practical discussion, you’ll learn the three antidotes to entitlement and hear Dr. Townsend explain the following three ways to apply the antidote:

  • Change your language
  • Do hard things first
  • Keep inconvenient commitments

Dr. Townsend encourages us, “Kids need to grow up at a dinner table where mom and dad are doing interesting things.” Here’s to being parents who take responsibility, live well, and show our kids how to be grateful.

John wrote, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, CSB). Our capacity to love and “see” our kids is a reflection of how well we have received love and felt “seen” by others. 
 
When we feel seen, we feel loved. 
When we feel loved, we see others. 
When others feel seen, they feel loved. 
When others feel loved, they see others. 
And the cycle continues. 
 
This is how we build the Kingdom of God—by experiencing the love of a Father who is closer to us than our clothes. 
 
A Father who is compassionate. 
A Father who is gracious. 
A Father who is slow to anger. 
A Father who is abounding in steadfast love.

None of us can live fully alive and “see” others without that security. And your Heavenly Father knows that. Which is why He’s always available.
