Kids rule.

"Parenting expert Amy McCready shows parents how to cure their kids of the entitlement epidemic so they develop happier, more productive attitudes that will carry them into a successful adulthood. Everywhere one looks there are preschoolers who only behave in the grocery store for a treat, narcissistic teenagers posting selfies across all forms of social media, and adult children living off their parents. The solution is to help kids develop healthy attitudes early in life. By setting up limits with consequences, and training them in responsible behavior and decision-making, parents can rid their homes of the entitlement epidemic and raise confident, resilient, and successful children. Whether parents are starting from scratch with a young toddler or navigating the teen years, they will find in this book proven strategies to effectively quell entitled attitudes in their children"--Provided by publisher.
