The Takers: Poem for Kids with Family Discussion
If your child appears conceited and arrogant and you are worried about his future, you have good reason to be concerned. Who will treat him with respect when he is disrespectful? Who will love him in spite of his selfishness? Who will work with him if he doesn't listen?
Spoiled kids act as if they are the "King of the Universe." They expect things to go their way. They get what they want because they demand it. They aren't givers. They are takers.
If you are raising takers, read and discuss today's parenting gift with your children. It's a poem entitled 'The Takers.' You'll find 8 questions to discuss with them.
Notice that Michael's mother, in the poem, doesn't enforce rules. Is that why she's doing his work for him? Zoe's dad couldn't stand her tantrums in toy stores so he gave in. Is that why she screams to get what she wants? Ask your kids the questions and listen to their opinions. You may be surprised at their wisdom.
Even if your children are givers enjoy the poem and the family discussion. It will be fun to hear how they think.
