Children and Expectations, Are We Asking Too Much of Them?

Teaching honesty and responsibility takes a considerable amount of time and patience. It's certainly not like teaching your kids how to tie their shoes, where they understand the basic concept after a few lessons. You'll have to keep hammering away at these lessons for a long time.

Are we expecting so much of our Children that it may back fire? Our Children seem to be developing an Entitlement Mentality and it is very hard for parents not to want to make their childrens' lives easier. Dr Dan Levy comes on the show to discuss these and other Psychosocial aspects of our children.
