Parents all want the best for their children.

Everything

But at what expense?

Entitlement Cure

When it comes to material things, do you provide your kids with the best of everything? I have no problem with someone desiring the best of everything (even material things). It can be a virtue.

The problem I do have is when the best of everything is given to children who do little or nothing to help acquire the best. When we consistently give our kids the best of everything materially without them having any skin in the game, what incentive does that give them?

How is that helping them grow into appreciative and independent adults? Wise parents see the endgame when raising their kids. They see a God-fearing responsible adult in progress.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
