Children's Empowerment Program

Many children today are raised in a wealthy environment, given pretty much whatever they want. Thus, parents are left with lingering questions such as:

• Am I setting my kids up for failure by providing a lifestyle they will expect to maintain, knowing that their earning power won't duplicate that lifestyle for 10-20 years?
• Will my children develop qualities of humility and gratitude for all that they have? Or will they feel entitled to always have whatever they want?
• How will my children develop a strong work ethic? Will they use their talents productively and effectively?
• How am I helping my children develop qualities such as self-motivation, perseverance and self-discipline?
• Will my children help others less fortunate than themselves?

We think it's imperative for parents to think through:

1. What will I provide and not provide for my children?
2. How do I plan to train my children in handling money matters?
3. How will I tranfer values such as a work ethic when my children didn't need to work?

To help parents (and grandparents) answer these questions, we have provided a Children's Empowerment Program Worksheet.
