For some of us who didn't grow up with money because we didn't have a lot of the things we wished we did as children such as fancy toys, attend expensive private schools, designer clothes, shoes etc we tend to want those things for our children. If we can afford them why not but if we are struggling financially the regular things are more than enough as long as they have the basics 1. are healthy, 2. happy, 3. safe, 4. enough to eat, 5.attend school, 6. have good friends and are loved and cared for they are off to a great start. Some children can make their own opportunities others will need a helping hand but we don't have to break our backs or accounts to furnish them with things that they may enjoy but not necessarily need. What children need apart from love and protection are a good foundation. Learning how to appreciate what they have without a sense of entitlement. Give them good principles and morals that would guide them towards maturity and a sense of responsibility. Teach them respect, value of life, family and friendship. These do not cost you anything but they can reap wonderous benefits for your child/children as they can grow into well rounded adults and decent human beings who will undoubtedly contribute positively to their families, communities and countries. Blessed Easter to all. Happy long weekend to friends and families near and far
