Tired of Your Entitled Teen? Try These Tips to Build Connection as a Christian Mom

When a child acts entitled, it’s easy to see it as defiance or selfishness — but in this episode, we talk about a powerful truth: entitlement isn’t pride, it’s pain wearing armor.

Beneath every “me-first” behavior is a child who feels empty inside, disconnected, or unseen. Drawing from both scripture and psychology, Amy explains how genuine connection — not control or correction — is what truly fills that emptiness.

When kids feel emotionally and spiritually full, they stop grasping for attention and start giving from the heart. You’ll learn how to respond to entitled behavior through love, empathy, and faith-based connection instead of frustration or shame.

Amy also shares research showing that parental warmth reduces entitlement and that faith-filled homes built on service and compassion grow more grateful, humble kids. This episode will help you see entitlement in a new light and remind you that connection really is the cure for an empty heart.
