[quote=Anonymous]Entitlement is a child who starts sentence with I want..., give me...,get me....buy me...

It comes from parents who make their kids the center of their world, who thinks everything should revolve around the kids.

It comes from parents who think their kids should always be happy so instead of teaching them how to cope with and learn from sadness, disappointment, not being the best, losing, frustration - parents step in and do something to make the child happy.

It comes from parents who offload blame onto others, their child may be in the wrong but there is always someone else who is more in the wrong and poor Johnny was unfairly blamed.

It comes from parents who give their kids too much, and the kids never learn to go without, to not get what they want, to wait for things, to earn something through work.

It comes from teaching kids that the world owes them, or that they deserve x,y, or z or that they should be able to have what others have, or that their wants matter more than someone else's. Self-centredness.
