10. From Entitlement to Gratitude: Changing a Me-First Mentality
In Session 10: From Entitlement to Gratitude: Changing a Me-First Mentality from Heart-Based Approach to Parenting, Dave and Marsha talk on the podcast about Dr. Scott Turansky’s insight that entitlement grows when children expect comfort and rewards without responsibility. As they reflect on his teaching, they discuss how a “me-first” attitude reveals heart issues related to appreciation, service, and perspective. Their conversation highlights practical ways parents can cultivate gratitude by setting healthy limits, encouraging contribution, and modeling thankfulness in everyday life. Dave and Marsha emphasize that shifting from entitlement to gratitude is not about taking things away, but about shaping a heart that values generosity, responsibility, and appreciation for others.
