How Much Is Enough?
A challenge facing today’s
parents is raising children in a materialistic society.
Regardless of economic standing or cultural background, children
are besieged with messages from the popular culture that
happiness comes from having the right things. This workshop
offers specific strategies for determining how much is enough,
setting appropriate limits on spending, and communicating with
children about materialism and media influence.
Session 1:
How
Much Is Enough?
Values
Clarification
Overindulgence of children is a serious problem
with serious consequences.
Advertisers are
targeting children with billions of advertising
dollars. Research shows that advertising creates
needs in children. There is great power in the
messages that teach your children that they must
have the right clothes, toys, food, electronics,
etc. Children’s friends also influence the ideas
children have about spending and materialism.
This session
explores the ways in which parents’ beliefs and
ideas about materialism affect their children.
The session provides an opportunity for parents
to clarify their own values related to
materialism and discusses ways to convey these
values to children.
Session 2:
How Much Is Enough? Issues and
Strategies
While this is
true, children’s attitudes towards materialism
are influenced first and foremost by parents.
Taking the time to look at the materialistic
influences on children and then strategizing to
minimize these influences is an effective way to
raise children in today’s society. This session
introduces numerous strategies to help parents
take an active role in combating the influences
of our powerful society.
