How to Raise Unspoiled Kids: 3 Principles and 3 Warning Signs

The more you can give your kids, the easier it is to spoil them. That's the quiet worry of every dad working hard to provide, so we went into the vault for this Deep Cut and pulled a teaching that's stuck with our members for years. In a member-only Front Row Dads workshop, financial planners Andrew Lisi and Adam Stock of Next Level Planning Group lay out a simple framework for raising grounded kids: three guiding principles (grace, gratitude, and generosity) and their opposites (pride, envy, and greed), which double as the warning signs a kid is drifting toward entitlement. It gets practical fast: chores vs. allowance, need vs. want, teaching kids to earn and invest, and the line worth writing down: "A luxury once enjoyed becomes a necessity." The theme underneath it all: kids catch our values from how we live, not from the lecture. As Andrew puts it, "thank before you bank."   IN THIS EPISODE: The 3 guiding principles: grace, gratitude, generosity The 3 spoiling indicators: pride, envy, greed "Give first, save second, live off what's left over" Chores vs. allowance, need vs. want, and teaching kids to earn and invest Why it starts with the parents, not the lecture   Join the brotherhood: https://frontrowdads.com
