This past weekend there was a casting call at a local mall. All types were needed except babies and toddlers. Disappointing to my husband and me; our toddler is a complete ham! Those directors are missing out on a superstar! We
were tempted to go anyway just to show how awesome he is, but I imagined the lines being as long as opening day at Six Flags.
Isn't it true that every parent believes their child is special? Shows like "Pageant
Mom" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" seem to highlight the parental obsession with their children.
How do you find out what is special about you? Parents' opinions can't be trusted because they are blinded by love. The education system can't be trusted because now they treat all children as being special. Finding our unique individual qualities is one of our biggest challenges. Some professionals feel the result of this new culture is the growth of the entitlement generation.
Tomorrow morning, Paula and I are going to a meeting where the speaker's presentation is entitled "The Rise and Fall of Entitlement." I'm looking forward to hearing more about this fascinating topic. Hopefully we all can raise our children to know they are special, but in a very humble and honest way.
These meetings are designed for Human Resource Professionals, but anyone can attend. I'll let you know what we find out!

Tomorrow, TUESDAY, April 16 ,2013 from 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Dr. L. Lee Manzer will present.
Synopsis of his presentation:
Entitlement may be defined as “receiving a reward based on
who you are not what you do.” Entitlement cultures, which tend to be
created during “good times,” are pervasive in society organizations. Entitlement
is a severe threat to productivity and individual initiative. This session
investigates how such cultures are specifically created within organizations,
how to recognize such creation variables, and what may be done to stem the
growth of entitlement.
