I was going to reminisce about corporal punishment, but you really hit a sore spot with the 'entitled child'. I have one nephew that absolutely fits that category, and I know who is to blame. My brother. When he died a year ago my other brother and I tried to help our nephew out. To say the very least it did not end well. [sigh]
Thanks for a truly great article. But much more than that, thanks for your commitment to our young people. I'm guessing you'd be one I'd have taken a bullet for.
There is such a fine line when it comes to protecting our kids. Yes, we always want to be there for them and guide them but at the same time, we can't protect them at the cost of teaching them responsibility and accountability. Thanks for the heartfelt comment and sharing such a personal moment.
