COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS: “Make it a rule to give back when we receive, be polite and courteous – holding the door open for the person behind you in the mall, reading a story to a sibling, or eating together as a family are all activities that can be incorporated into everyday life and help children to understand the true meaning of core values,” says The Priory’s Tanya Dharamshi. “Ask your kids to name something they’re grateful for every day,” suggests psychologist Nancy Shah. “Materialism comes from a state of dissatisfaction or unhappiness. If we focus on creating kids who are happy and fulfilled, by definition they won’t be materialistic.”
