I’d love to tell you that my children think more about GIVING at Christmas than they do about GETTING. I’d love to tell you that we spend just as much time serving others as we do shopping for ourselves.

Unfortunately, if you look at my checking account, credit card statement, or simply watch my family throughout the month, you’ll know that’s not the case.

My seven-year-old has a wish list that is literally two pages long (and growing)! When he added yet another item to his list yesterday, I realized we might need to change our focus.

My guess is, you might be able to relate too.

Your Kids Might Be Too Focused on GETTING If…

1. They have a wish list that is constantly growing.
2. They don’t want to spend any of THEIR money on presents but insist on spending YOURS.
3. They are constantly asking for the next new gadget they see on television.
4. They refuse to help around the house (or whine and throw fits when you ask them to).
5. They display an attitude of entitlement any time you tell them “no.”
6. They seem to be completely clueless about the fact that money does not grow on trees.
7. They say they “need” something, when in reality, their room is already too full to fit much else into.

Anything I’m missing? Have your children shown some of these same tendencies?

And what can we do about it?
