[quote=Anonymous]My DD was like this. It killed a tiny part of my soul, but I went all Oprah on her ass and forced her to keep a gratitude journal or tell me three times people did something kind for her that day or three ways she showed gratitude towards others that day. It forced her to start really seeing kindness and noticing "Oh, I'm not giving any out!" I also stopped giving her any extras since she wasn't appreciating them. I figured there was no reason to spend my time or money for nothing. But I kept a list of each time she asked for something that I would have done/bought for her and at the end of a month I showed her "Here's everything you missed out on because you show no appreciation. These are all things you COULD have gotten had you been someone who noticed the things you get and say thank you for them." [/quote]
