Entitlement and Lost Childhoods: Dealing with Unfairness in Life
The purpose of this video is to help youth identify feelings that arise when basic emotional and physical needs are not met by caregivers, the feelings of unfairness that result, and the “entitlement thinking” (getting what you want any way you want”) that ensues. It then provides strategies to help youth recognize this connection and effectively discover positive alternatives.
In the Lost Childhoods and Entitlement: Dealing With Unfairness in Life video, the concept of losing part of one’s childhood through abuse, neglect, or violence is explored. Many youth whose early physical and psychological needs were not met find themselves locked in cycles of high-risk behavior as a means to satisfy their present needs and wants. They often feel entitled to steal or to break the rules and norms as a means to “even the score”. The video helps youth identify the feelings arising from experiences of early deprivation, reinforces how entitlement behavior leads to greater personal loss, and guides them in developing effective skills in meeting their current social, emotional, and physical needs.
Throughout the video are clear cues to facilitate group discussion. Time: 23 minutes
