I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem?My 7 year old seems soooooo ungratful for what he has or what he is doing.How do I discourage this behavior? Is it the age? I know I wasn't raised to be ungratful for the things I recieved as a child.One example that prompted me to write was, he went out with a friends family, they took him to the park and treated him to pizza. When he returned home, he was whinning and crying that we wouldn't take him to the Video Store and rent him videos and games.He ended up being punished and sent to his room for the night as a result. Is there anything I can do to let him know that life is not always fair and things aren't handed to him? Thanks in advance for any advice.
