Watch the Luxuries To what extent should parents provide their children with all the toys and luxuries tine, children wan ? IS there a danger that children will get to expecting any-Hung any-Hung they may take a fancy to, 1 get (he Idea that in life they can have whatever they want? You have placed your finger on one of the most frequent mistakes mis-takes that parents make. In their desire to make their children happy and to see to it that they have some of the joys they missed as children, parents not only give them all the toys and luxuries they want, but in many cases more than they want. It is any wonder, then, that children go out into life utterly unprepared for the hardships hard-ships and deprivations that fall to the lot of all? When children are small, therefore, there-fore, let us guard against giving them everything they want. Our primary concern will be to help them discover how to be happy with what they have. As children get older and the things they want become more expensive most family incomes automatically put a stop to the getting of everything they want. It is exceedingly important that boys and girls should learn to get satisfaction and happiness out of experiences that do not require a large expenditure of money. llillliiliiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiMt |
