Keep Your Child from Being Materialistic

What you do pay for and how much you spend on items such as clothing, entertainment, gifts and other things should be clearly laid out. Lead by example when it comes to focusing less on money and "stuff" and more on people and the inner qualities that make them "rich." For example, if you find yourself complimenting or coveting others' possessions, then try to focus on the qualities money can't buy. Teach your children to appreciate what they already have by showing them what it's like not to have much. Volunteering at a soup kitchen or donating toys to Goodwill are good ways to do this. If you choose to buy a gift for your child, then make it something you can do together, like a girls' day manicure for a tween girl or a fun video or board game you can play together.
