[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely NEED for my child from a financially comfortable household to understand that he doesn't just get everything he wants, and some times we choose to go without costly things. At the age of 8 or 9, he's gone through an exercise of having a fixed dollar amount in a toy store, and picking something that doesn't cost more than he has. If that toy he wants costs $25 and he only has $10, he needs to pick something else. These are lessons kids need to learn before they are ready to be independent adults in the world -- both to be able to live within their means, and to have empathy for those who need to live on tighter budgets.[/quote]
