Children can easily feel deprived If they don't have things they see In the media or things they think their friends will have. Consider these tips when baek-to-seho- ol shopping. Approach children with choices appropriate to their ago and understanding. For example, brand name awareness is especially prevalent when buying shoes. With preschool children you can say, Here are two great pairs of shoes. Which pair do you want?"

Compare this to other things they do care about, where the brand name Increases the price without necessarily increasing the quality. Give older children a clothTblk with them allowance. ing about planning and projecting their needs and then let them make their choices. Resist your urge to rescue them from poor choices. Tklk about what happened and what might work better next time. Require them to have the money saved or to have done the required work before getting the desired item, and stick with your decision. Children need to learn that hassling you will not get them what they want. This will help them learn patience in working for things As parents, be aware of the messages you may be sending about materialism through your own behavior. Children learn their values by watching what we do more than by what we stw. out examples of people around you and In the news who value service and people ovdr lint materialism.
