Family & Relationships. Christian Nonfiction. Religion & Spirituality. Nonfiction. Do your kids think that clean, folded clothes magically appear in their drawers? Do they roll their eyes when you suggest they clean the bathroom? Do you think it's your job to pave their road to success? As parents, so often we hover, race in to save, and do everything we can for our kidsâ??unintentionally reinforcing their belief that the world revolves around them.When Kay Wyma realized that an attitude of entitlement had crept into her home, this mother of five got some attitude of her own.

Each month this mom has a new task for her kids to take on in her quest to tame the entitlement beast. From dishes to laundry, from big projects to serving others, Ms. Wyma discovers that not only do her kids have more ability than she realized, but there are unanticipated benefits from teaching her kids to be more competent. I liked the subtle references to the author's faith and how it informed their family life. ( )

A quick read and a great book that might just change your perspective on parenting. We want so much for our kids, but it's easy to turn that into doing too much for our kids such that they never learn the real value of work or service to others. Whether it's "sparing" them from the mundane tasks of daily life so they can focus on more "important" things or just plain lacking the patience let them try at things we could do faster and better, we do nothing for their development as future adults if we're always doing FOR them. We owe it to our kids to give them meaningful work while they're in our care so they can learn about taking responsibility and having to do hard things that need to be done. Even if your kids already have chores in their daily lives, this book is well worth the read because the author goes beyond the basics of cleaning your room and taking out the trash. There are important lessons to be learned in service to others, being a member of a team, and having a basic respect for others. This book has inspired me to be a better dad and to ensure that I send my kids out in the world some day with the confidence to take care of themselves and those around them. ( )
