How Do You Motivate a Kid Who Has it All?
My husband and I are wealthy. Our kids don’t need to ever work in their lifetimes. While our older children are interested in many things, we are alarmed at one of our son’s lack of interest in pursuing any major purpose. Any thoughts?
You raise an interesting dilemma: you have provided for your sons and daughters in a way that they won’t need to ever make a living and, on the other end, you have somewhat taken away their hunger, that drive to achieve beyond their needs. Many kids in the younger generations have been brought up in affluence with the “I want, I get” mentality. What to do?
