10 Parenting Tips For Raising Unspoiled, Thankful Kids

In my private practice I often see affluent
families struggling with wanting to raise
"grateful and unspoiled children" despite
being wealthy, going on lavish vacations,
having beautiful homes and owning the
latest gadgets, toys and luxury cars. They
ask me if it is really possible and my
answer is "Yes, but you are going to have
to work hard at it." I call it intentional
parenting and it takes a lot of discipline
to pull it off.
So, here is my list of the top 10 things
around which you and your support group
need to have clarity and consistent follow
through in order to raise unspoiled
children.
And at the end of the day, if you have a
spoiled child—one who relentlessly nags,
cries and throws a huge fit when they do
not get what they want—you only have
yourself to blame! Stop giving in and start
applying most if not all of these values
and approaches. Start being a great
example. You will have greater
enjoyment in being a parent, your child
will be happier and better adjusted and
there will be greater peace and love in
your home. And that is something money
cannot buy.
