Where Do Selfish Kids Come From?
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007 : By Dan Miller
Today, I hear and see people bemoan the condition of kids and young adults in their skillful ability to relate everything to and for themselves. I am sure you have seen the “I want candy” kid at the store or the “NO” child at a social event. How about the “I can’t hear you kid” at the pool? This is the child who is told by the parent(s) multiple times that they need to leave, but with no response from the son or daughter.
Why do kids act like this? What is the remedy? How is it that some kids seem to listen and other kids run and whine? What is the source of this mystery?
Well, an article in the the Boston Globe provides a pinpoint answer to the cause of self-centered kids.
A Clue: The Bible has been telling us this truth for some 2600 years…(Prov. 22:6).
About The Author
I have been married to an amazing wife, Vicki, since 1992 and together we enjoy pouring into our six kids the greatness of our God. My favorite food is Italian. I enjoy playing 80’s metal riffs on my guitar. I love all the major sports (except soccer, but that’s not really a sport anyhow). My favorite sporting event is the Final Four tournament in March/April. I think the best season of the year is the Fall. I would love to be hiking and camping on some trail right now.
