[quote=Anonymous]OP, thank you to those who gave helpful and on-point responses. It makes sense to just *be* a good person, especially as babies and toddlers really do mimic everything their parents do.  So, there is my duh moment. I do appreciate the specific suggestions and reminders. Fortunately, partly because I am hyper conscious of my fortune in life and because of my upbringing, I try to be courteous and empathetic. Not that we all don't all have our days when we are in a rush. Sigh.

PP 21:10--Thanks for the advice. That's rather funny how literally your child took the thing re food vs. toys, but obviously you got through to him about money. I like your specific suggestion about how to place toys in terms of what matters in the world.

PP 21:55-- Your parents sound wonderful. My parents were similar re helping others. I have worked since I was 10 and I worked my way through college and law school. My parents both grew up in rather privileged scenarios, but they really emphasized that money and social status have nothing to do with class, and everything to do with manners. If I am half the parent either my mother and father were, then my child will be okay. [/quote]
