Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.

It's natural to want your kids to have all the things you didn't have.

You don't want to give kids an idea that they might not have thought of.

Children believe that if they just want something badly enough, it will happen.

There's a level of protection you need to give to your kids, and then sometimes you need to just let them figure out things on their own.

When you give kids the tools necessary to change their destiny, it's really empowering.

Kids can learn a lot about necessities and wants by recognizing what people live without. A common routine, but one that should not be overlooked, is having a family donation to a charity for those less fortunate. Ask your kids to search for items, toys, or clothes that they no longer use and contribute those items a collection box.

I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids.
