In "The Entitlement Trap," Richard and Linda Eyre confront the burgeoning crisis of entitlement among children head-on, presenting a revolutionary approach to parenting that veers away from the traditional allowance system. This seminal work introduces the concept of a "Family Economy," a meticulously designed framework aimed at fostering responsibility, self-sufficiency, and a profound sense of ownership in children. Through the establishment of a family bank, checkbooks for kids, and a rigorously structured system of responsibilities and rewards, the Eyres offer parents a practical, hands-on guide to equip their children for a future of financial independence and moral integrity. Drawing on their extensive experience as parenting experts and leveraging anecdotes that are both enlightening and endearing, the Eyres challenge conventional parenting wisdom and the perils of instant gratification. "The Entitlement Trap" is more than a book; it is a lifeline for parents drowning in the challenges of modern-day child-rearing, providing them with the tools necessary to raise children who are not only capable of earning their desires but are also imbued with the values necessary to navigate the complexities of life. This book is an indispensable resource for any parent seeking to instill discipline, value, and a sense of real achievement in their children's lives, promising a future free from the shackles of dependency and financial insecurity.
