[quote=Anonymous]When my child goes down this rabbit hole, I shut it down very quickly. Both his grandparents grew up poor in a third world country and I feel the privilege he has in contrast is immense. Running water. Education. Health. Sufficient food. Shelter. According to this, with your income you are richer than 98.5% of the world’s population: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-involved/how-rich-am-i/ There is a book by UNICEF called A Life Like Mine that shows how children live around the world, and how hard some struggle for the basics. A little perspective goes such a long way to helping them set their values straight. I get that you feel bad for not being able to give your son what he sees as normal, but maybe this could be a chance to help him open his eyes. We also watch YouTube videos of children in different parts of the world.[/quote]
