Keeping The Kids Demands Down

Here are some ways to keep your kids from demanding more and more:

1. Educate your kids about tv commercials and how somebody might be trying to convince them to buy something they don't need and may not even want.

2. Encourage values in your kids both by spending more time with them (not more money on them) and by focusing on helping others who have less.

3. Challenge your children's definition of 'cool' by asking them questions about whether they ever felt bad about themselves for not owning something, or if they've ever felt friends might like them more if they had something new.
