[quote=Anonymous]Yikes at 12 this may be tougher to change than at 5. At this age, he may already be influenced by his peers or by the media. You know what I would do if this was my child? I would give him a rude awakening. I would take him to see how other kids live. Take him downtown to volunteer in a homeless shelter and see families who have nothing. Feed soup to families in a soup kitchen. Show how him how the other half lives. No one should take what they have for granted. SHOW him, don't just tell him, how truly blessed he is in his life to have what he has and that not everyone is as lucky as he is. Sounds extreme, but this should open his eyes up.[/quote]
