It's not clear to me that any of this is a good idea.

For example:

> Just to be clear: this is not about just following your child around, cleaning up after them. That would be a failure to teach them responsibility, and yes, that teaches entitlement. This is about seeing yourself as a willing helper, the extra support that our children need to practice or to be willing to do it themselves.

It's not clear to me that just changing the way we see ourselves will actually achieve anything. Even if we see ourselves as "willing helpers", the child might take that to reinforce their view that everyone should be helping them willingly.

I love thoughtful mini-essays, and this is one of those. I just think that in this case the author reaches the wrong conclusions.
