[quote=Anonymous]My 12-year-old niece is going through the same thing, and she’s in public school. She’s always asking for new Lululemon items and whatever else is popular right now. It’s really more about the age than the type of school. That said, kids in private schools may have more money to spend, and if your daughter can’t keep up with that, it could be part of why she feels frustrated. It might help to explain your financial situation so she understands what’s realistic. If you can afford those things but choose not to, then it’s important she understands your values. This could actually be a good time to start teaching her about money and appreciation—maybe by encouraging her to take on small jobs so she learns the value of earning and gratitude[/quote]
