One reason parenting is harder now than it has ever been -- The trap of entitlement and the rescue of giving kids financial and material ownership : how kids get snared, and how to spring them with a new family economy that will prepare them for the real world. The entitlement problem : how entitlement robs our children of initiative, fulfillment, and happiness ; The ownership solution : how chosen and earned ownership can be the antidote to entitlement, the prerequisite to responsibility, and the incentive for work ; Giving your children ownership and equity in your family : how to promote your child from serf to owner and self-manager ; Ownership of their own money : how to implement a new family economy of earning, owning, and saving ; Ownership of their own stuff : how to extend the family economy from money to things and transform your children from selfish, sloppy users to caring, tidy owners ; Intermission : a conclusion to Part one and an introduction to Part two -- Physical, mental, social, and emotional ownership : a pattern for helping kids to proactively pursue their potential. Ownership of their own values : how to help your kids develop an internal character that will last (and protect) for a lifetime ; Ownership of their own decisions : how to help your children make, rather than fall into, choice ; Ownership of their own goals : how to become your children's consultant rather than their manager ; Ownership of their own bodies : how to give the gift of health, safety, and fulfilled potential ; Ownership of education : how to get children working academically for themselves rather than for you ; Ownership of relationships and conflicts : how to help your children love one another and find nourishing friends while avoiding toxic ones -- Postscript : a parent's perspective : going beyond ownership to stewardship. |
