Rearing children in our contemporary culture is difficult, but rearing grateful children is even harder. In Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Kristen Welch gives solid practical advice.

(Gary Chapman, Ph.D., Author of The Five Love Languages)Parents today fight what seems like a never-ending battle against the current of the culture in raising our children. In Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Kristen not only inspires us to raise our children differently, but she teaches us how to actually live that out in our homes.

(Crystal Paine, Founder of MoneySavingMom.com and New York Times bestselling author of Say Goodbye to Survival Mode)I absolutely love this book.

If you’re looking for support and practical ideas on how to raise grateful kids in an increasingly entitled world, this book is a must-read. (Sarah Mae, Author of Longing for Paris) It can be so tough not to cave when your children ask for stuff. “I want it! It would make me happy! Can’t you please get it for me?” Of course you love your kids―don’t you want them to be happy and to fit in, even if it’s tough on your wallet and your peace of mind?Kristen Welch found out firsthand it’s not that easy―and learned the surprising truth that giving our kids the world looks different than what you’d expect. In Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Kristen shares her own family’s journey of discovering:
Kristen Welch knows firsthand it’s not that easy. In fact, she’s found out that when you say yes too often, it’s not only hard on your peace of mind and your wallet―it actually puts your kids at long-term risk. In Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, Kristen shares the ups and downs in her own family’s journey of discovering why it’s healthiest not to give their kids everything. Teaching them the difference between “want” and “need” is the first step in the right direction. With many practical tips and anecdotes, she shares how to say the ultimate yes as a family by bringing up faith-filled kids who will love God, serve others, and grow into hardworking, fulfilled, and successful adults.
It’s never too late to raise grateful kids. Get ready to cultivate a spirit of genuine appreciation and create a Jesus-centered home in which your kids don’t just say―but mean!―“thank you” for everything they have.
Changing my parenting for the best! I appreciate Kristen's ideas so much that sometimes I take a break from reading this book so that I can implement each idea before going on to the next idea. For example:- Teaching my 4 year old preschooler and 2 year old toddler about money. For our family, we decided to establish weekly allowance and "give, save, spend" categories for each child. Also now if they destroy or loose something important, we can take money out of their piggy bank to show them that everything isn't magically replaceable by "the store" - it's actually costs our family something!- I never wanted to go to Africa because it seems so unsafe with illness, war, etc. But this book has totally changed my perspective, and now my priority is much more to give my children the gift of grateful and generous hearts. I have talked to a South African friend who has traveled a lot and she has recommended places in Africa that would be good for my family to safely visit and help. Also we realized that our church sponsors a school there that we'd like to visit. My fear is gone and now I am excited to take these trips one day.- We started sponsoring a boy in another country for our son to learn about and pray for, and a girl for our daughter. It is a great opportunity to talk about the things that they have in common - chores! - and the things that our children have that their sponsor children don't. For example, 3 meals a day, great education, cars, a bedroom of their own, political rights, etc.There are definitely chapters in this book that go above and beyond the scope of the title - protecting your kids from porn, for example - but those chapters are so important that it's worthwhile that she wrote them.The issue is real but the book needs polishing Great concept. I agree with the issue and want grateful kids, too. However, in this book the author was getting off topic and telling random stories about her kids. It was too unorganized.STAY AWAY! Homophobic, Exclusive and Ignorant The title of the book is extremely misleading. I am not particularly religious, but thought I could continue to read this book for the parenting information assuming the Christian aspect would be positive. Instead I was shocked at the statements in the book...homophobic and ignorant writing that is exclusive to many belief systems. I can’t believe I was duped into this purchase! In no way do I want to take advice on child rearing from this author.
