Children in a world of constant advertising and spending

What does it mean to be a consumer in today’s culture? Being both frugal and conscious has become a sign of the times, and kids are exposed, more than ever, to ways to save money, shop wisely, and conserve food and materials.

As a parent, you have a primary role of showing your child what it means to be a consumer in a world of constant advertising and spending. How can you promote a lifestyle that isn't reliant on buying and spending? And, for older children, what types of skills are needed to think critically and independently as a consumer?

What Parents Can Do­?

Low self-esteem and lack of confidence

About self-esteem and confidence                                                                      

 Self-esteem is a way a person feels about themselves.  Everyone has it in different degrees.  A person with high/positive self-esteem generally feels good about themselves and feels they have a lot to offer.  A person with low or poor self-esteem generally feels worthless and that they have little to contribute.  Without positive self-esteem it is highly unlikely that a person would have a full, happy and productive life.  The development of feelings of self-esteem starts very early in life.  For example, when a child learns to walk or talk they feel a sense of having achieved something. Praise and encouragement at this point from parents, or people important in their life, boosts the positive feelings they have about themselves and encourages the child to go on achieving. Achievement in itself is not enough.  Love, praise and encouragement are essential elements in helping a child develop a positive self-esteem.
