Succeed Young

I believe that our kids are one of our most important responsibilities in our lives; yet, I constantly see parents that are not staying conscious in this game. They have become comfortable with auto-pilot behaviors. The biggest problem that is brought upon us with this attitude, is entitlement for our kids through instant gratification.

​

I was the entitled kid growing up.

​

There are many stories that I would love to share with you but all in all I was very fortunate to have been forced out of my comfort zone and the "safety net" to be able to grow out of the terrible entitled identity I was carrying with me everywhere.

​​

Everyone's situation is different but the most common yet still rising issue among the younger generation is a very unjustifiable sense of entitlement.

​

While my parents did the best they knew, as I am sure most of our parents do, with the utmost support and love; one thing missing is the emphasis on teaching kids our family values and life skills that we have accumulated that would be extremely helpful for their growth. This in my opinion is the most crucial determining factor in our children's future.

​

Our goal isn't to necessarily make sure our kids are not spoiled. Our goal is to make sure we understand the outcomes that the entitlement comes with. There are many outcomes that could be a result of entitlement; however, one outcome that is of least likelihood to happen is sense and understanding of responsibility and independence.

​

After all, our main goal as parents is to raise our children knowing they can take care of themselves and the community they end up being a part of.
