Games

Hello Nicholeen,

We had submitted a question about our son (7-8) last week in regards to games. You had talked about him not listening to other voices or spirits and to go and walk on all the cracks and lines outside and then get him to repent, trust Jesus and let him play on a switch at some point. I did not think of it at the time, please forgive me, but once we let him do this (we haven’t yet) he will ask when can we do this again instead of being thankful for the time he just enjoyed. No comments of wow, that was so fun, etc. I understand he is in a heightened emotional state and thinking of ways to extend the emotions. He also definitely seeks ways to circumvent the joy of the rewards and opportunities by saying, “it wasn’t with daddy, or, but momma didn’t get to see,” or many other ways in attempt to make us feel like we didn’t meet his expectations. We end up frustrated with his lack of gratefulness for the planned event we’ve given him, and I’m wondering if we should respond with rule of three or “just now…” corrections? Or more focused mentor meetings.
The entitlement seems to be high but we don’t have reasons for him to feel that way, nor do we live in a way that he should feel entitled. Any and all advice and solutions would be greatly appreciated.
