Richard Watts, Author of Entitlemania: How Not to Spoil Your Kids, and What to Do if You Have Entitlemania is an epidemic. Well-intentioned parents across the country are enabling a “me” generation of children who lack the wisdom and self-satisfaction of accomplishment that only struggle and adversity can bring. Entitlemania is a state of mind where children believe they should have anything they want, while also believing they shouldn’t have to make an effort to get it. Richard’s groundbreaking book sheds important light on an increasingly pervasive social trend affecting children at every age – and at every income bracket. The big takeaway for parents: You may have to let your children fail so they can learn how to succeed. Learn how to help your children become more, by doing less. Meet Richard in person and hear your story in his words. Nov. 14, 2018
