Are You Raising an Entitled Child
How does the mother feel who has worked like a dog to give her children everything that she didn have as a child, and her children are not satisfied and want more and more and more? Or the father whose every conversation with his daughter is punctuated repeatedly by her use of the word I?

Successful parents take a proactive role in their children lives. They set limits around spending and other requests, and manage children expectations. They establish strict boundaries around computer use, especially social networking sites that keep children inwardly focused. These parents create the child reality instead of allowing kids to view a skewed reality through different media channels. Effective parents teach kids that there is a clear difference between children and adults; that by virtue of education, hard work,
