[quote=Anonymous]OP- Ot is absolutely possible to let kids enjoy their privileges while helping them to see and appreciate that privilege.  Read books, watch movies, go to museum, talk politics and have the though conversations playing devils advocate or making them argue for a position different than their own natural position.  Go on a mission trip or engage in meaningful service learning.  Let them help you pick the charity for your donations.  Be quick to correct any negative comments or stereotypes that they or their friends may make about cars, homes, jobs, parts of tow, etc.  Make them work for things and learn to wait for things.  Just because we can afford something doesn’t mean we get it immediately.  Teach them to be respectful of everyone, like looking the waiter/waitress in the eye and using manners, or going to a fast food and practicing patience even when things go wrong.

You aren’t going to take away their privilege but you can make them kind, generous individuals capable of seeing beyond their own wants to be able to determine what’s best for the community.[/quote]
