Parenting: grace not entitlements

Stu writes:

We are culturally addicted to the notion of entitlement, rather than grace. If as parents we insist on doing exactly the same thing for each child (the same baby book, the same birthday parties, the same number of new outfits, the same hours of help with long division), then we have confused entitlement and grace, and we will train our children to stand for their 'rights' which are no rights at all.

Cool, huh?
