From Innocence to Entitlement: A Love And Logic Cure for the Tragedy of Entitlement

Customer Reviews:

A great weapon against the disease of entitlement!

By lueby - October 18, 2006

As a strong supporter of the Love and Logic philosophy, I loved this book! The author used the philosophy to help teach parents to teach their children respect, responsibility and problem solving skills. The focus is on the problem of entitlement, what perpetuates it, and what can help cure it.

As a teacher, I have seen the attitude of entitlement in too many children. These poor kids have been taught that their happiness is dependent upon the actions of others. Moms bend over backwards to make their kids happy, and the plan backfires. As a result, their self-worth is 0, and they are very unhappy kids.

Through the use of a "Love and Logic Game Plan" Dawn Billings and Jim Fay deliver 10 steps for parents to use for success at raising responsible, happy children. Through this game plan, kids understand that they alone are in charge of their choices and happiness. They make good things happen instead of waiting for someone else to make them happy... read more

Don't add to love and logic library

By Annie Mac - February 15, 2008

If you are new to Love and Logic, this is a great book. If you are not, then all of the "techniques" are redundant; however, I loved all of the information that basically describes how this disease of entitlement came about in the first place (but I think you'd probably get more in depth information from Dawn Billings book Entitled to Fail, Endowed to Succeed, which is quoted heavily in this book.

More than about "fixing" your kids

By Chris Hutchinson "Leadership and Organization... - December 15, 2006

If you believe parenting is about protecting, rescuing, or ordering and controlling, this book will not appeal to you. If you are willing to step back and examine what you are doing and the results you are getting AND might be willing to try something different, you will really enjoy this and other Love and Logic books.

This is an interesting book that sketches out how as a culture we have allowed the "disease" of entitlement to creep into much of what people, and especially children, expect to receive. It's filled with some great quotes about taking responsibility for yourself that left me inspired.

The authors also weave application of the Love and Logic philosophy into the solutions to the problem of entitlement. It's fascinating that many of the managers and leaders I work with are also dealing with entitlement (although they don't call it that). Rather than blame the person, Love and Logic sets up a framework to help him or her grow into responsibility... read more
