What has happened in the past 20 years or so that has led us to a state of such an overinflated and inappropriate sense of entitlement, particularly regarding our children?

We are now more obsessed with our children than ever. We live in an age that not only accepts narcissism but glorifies the condition.

We celebrate and hero worship the celebrity culture that screams “look at Me, Me, Me!” When did we adopt this bizarre belief system about our self-worth and that of our kids? Integrity, goodness and moral fibre have been replaced by being thin, rich, a champion, and highly visible.
