But how do we help our children to become responsible adults? This workshop will help you to understand the many factors that impact our children’s level of responsibility. Discover the techniques that will help brace your children against the tide of entitlement and foster an attitude of accountability. See what you can do to promote this essential life skill.

Creating an Attitude of Gratitude in Your Children
It can seem at times that children today are more materialistic and have come to expect that more and more be done for them rather than them feeling grateful for what they have and accepting responsibility for their own lives. In this workshop, explore the issue of over-indulgence: what it is, where it comes from and what you can do to shift your children from materialism a sense of entitlement to gratitude and personal responsibility.
For all parents of children ages 3 and up.
