Grateful & Grounded Kids: Raising Responsible, Tech-Wise, and Money-Smart Children in an Age of Entitlement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995627500)

You're Raising Adults-Not Just Kids. Don't Waste the Window!

Modern parenting has quietly drifted into dangerous territory: children are growing up with unprecedented privilege but very little responsibility. The result is a generation increasingly unprepared for adulthood--struggling with entitlement, distraction, and financial confusion.

In Grateful & Grounded Kids, financial advisor and parent Doug Goodmundson offers a practical, hope-filled framework for raising children who are responsible, resilient, and wise with both technology and money.

Drawing on research in psychology, sociology, and faith-based formation--along with real-life experience raising his own family--Doug shows how the everyday structure of a home quietly shapes a child's character and expectations.

At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful truth: privilege without responsibility leads to entitlement, and entitlement quietly erodes relationship.

Over time, that erosion weakens the very influence parents hope to have in their children's lives when guidance matters most.

In an age where family life often revolves around our children-and where they experience levels of comfort and privilege previous generations could hardly imagine-parents face a new challenge. Privilege must be balanced with responsibility. Seemingly simple but often chaotic habits around work, chores, technology, and finances can restore equilibrium in the home. More importantly, they can cultivate deeper connection and enduring relationships that last long after childhood.

Preparing kids for the future means giving them a childhood grounded in reality-and today, that matters more than ever.
