That is true, for some kids. But to me that entitlement stems from treating a child like they are the most precious snowflake that ever lived.I get what you are saying. There seems to be a generation of kids growing up that believe the world owes them something, a sense of entitlement.
It's best to be reasonably fair with kids. Not spoil them, but also not deliberately be unkind and arbitrary--especially not right directly in their face. When parents are reasonably fair, and not cruel, children learn they can trust their parents.
This area, though, is where I think Kate badly needs coaching. She has 8 kids. She thinks things are challenging now, wait until the middle school/high school years.
