028: From My Kids’ Perspectives: When Kids Always Want More Stuff

35 min • 15 december 2021

How do we enjoy the holidays with our kids without worrying about if they’re being grateful enough for all they have?

 

How do we navigate gift-giving when trying to raise more conscious kids?

 

I know sometimes it can feel overwhelming. We may worry about the impact that gift-giving can have on our kids as they get older.

 

I brought on my three kids, Maxine, age 14, Asa, age 17, and Lee, age 20, to talk about the holidays when they were younger vs. now help parents navigate this with their own children.

 

Spoiler alert: you are already doing a great job!

 

Listen in as we talk about:

 

  • Why kids wanting presents is a normal thing 

 

  • How to create family traditions that go deeper than gifts
  • The post-holiday “let down” and how it can lead to more mindful kids
  • When kids start to notice and feel gratitude and appreciation
