Many teens today grow up believing they’re owed privileges and constant attention. Today, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss how this entitlement is fueled by parents doing too much for them. Mark encourages moms and dads to shift the conversation — focusing not on criticizing selfish behavior, but on helping teens grow in independence, responsibility and real-world readiness. By setting new expectations and saying “no” when needed, parents help their kids mature rather than stay dependent. Ultimately, breaking entitlement is a gift that prepares teens for healthy relationships, future jobs and adult life.If your teen is struggling right now, Heartlight, our residential counseling ministry, may be able to help.
