Do you spoil your child?



To me spoiling our children with material things is not the issue.  Personally, as a first generation Mexican who worked in the fields up until the age of 15, I am grateful for the education and the job I have which has provided me with the privilege of buying my sons what they need and yes, even want.

The issue is teaching or not teaching them to be grateful.  Children who are taught to be grateful are happy children!  Being grateful is the key to happiness.  If you are   grateful you will be happy with a million dollars or with ten.   If you are not grateful you not be happy with a million dollars and much less with ten.

Practicing gratefulness also goes a long way toward preventing depression
