Help your kids understand its OK not to have it all. Here are five strategies for raising wise consumer

3、s.1. Lead by exampleWhile you may know that TV commercials stimulate desire for consumer goods, youll have a hard time selling your kids on the virtues of turning off the tube if you structure your own days around the latest sitcom (情景喜剧) or reality show.The same principle applies to money matters.

4、It does no good to lecture your kids about spending, saving and sharing when doing out their pocket money if you spend every free weekend afternoon at the mall. If you suspect your own spending habits are out of whack, consider what financial advisor Nathan Dungan says in his book Wasteful Sons and

5、Material Girls: How Not to Be Your Childs ATM. “In teaching your child about money, few issues are as critical as your own regular consumer decisions,“ he writes. “In the coming weeks, challenge yourself to say no to yore“ own wants and to opt for less expensive options.“2. Encourage critical thinki

Show them examples

7、of false or exaggerated advertising claims, such as a breakfast cereal (谷类) making you bigger and stronger.Shari Graydon, a media educator and past president of MediaWatch, suggests introducing children to the “marketing that doesnt show“-the mascots (吉祥物) and web-sites that strengthen brand loyalty

8、, the trading toys that cause must-have-it fever and the celebrity endorsements (代言). “Explain that advertisers pay millions of dollars for celebrities to endorse a product, and that the people who buy the product end up sharing the cost,“ she says.3. Supervise with sensitivityAccording to a survey

9、conducted by the Media Awareness Network in 2001, nearly 70 per cent of children say parents never sit with them while they surf the Net and more than half say parents never check where theyve been online. The states for TV habits paint a similar picture. A 2003 Canadian Teachers Federation study of

10、 childrens media habits found that roughly 30 per cent of children in Years Three to Six claim that no adult has input into their selection of TV shows; by Year Eight, the figure rises to about 60 per cent.“Research suggests that kids benefit more from having parents watch with them than having thei

11、r viewing time limited,“ says Graydon, noting that many children have TV sets in their bedrooms, which effectively free them from parental supervision. And what exactly does “supervision“ mean? “Rather than ridiculing your childs favorite show, game or web-site, which will only create distance betwe

12、en you, you can explain why certain media messages conflict with the values youd like to develop in your child,“ Graydon says.If youre put off by coarse language in a TV show, tell your child that hearing such language sends the (false) message that this is the way most people communicate when under

If violence in a computer game disturbs you, point out that a steady diet of onscreen violence can weaken sensitivity towards real-life violence. “And when you do watch a show together,“ adds Graydon, “discuss some of the hidden messages, both good and bad.“4.

More precisely, I told her that if she continued to work hard and do well in school, I would take her over the school holidays. The holidays have now passed and I still havent taken her, but I have no doubt s

15、hell remind me of it soon enough. When I do take her, I intend to set firm limits (both on the price and the clothing items) before we walk into the store.Still, I wonder why I gave in so quickly to Taras request. Author Thompson says that my status as a baby boomer may provide a clue. “We boomer pa

16、rents spring from a consumer culture in which having the right sttfff helps you fit in,“ she explains. “Our research has shown that even parents in poor homes will buy Game Boys over necessities.“ In fact, 68 per cent of pa-rents routinely give in to their kids requests.To counteract this tendency,

17、Graydon says parents have to “lean% or relearn, how to say no.“ And what if the child calls you a miser or reminds you that her best friend has four Barbies (芭比娃娃) and she doesnt even have one? Graydon suggests practicing this mantra (祷文): “We create our own family rules according to our own family

18、values. We create our own family rules according to our own family values. We create.“5. Offer alternativesAs parents know, saying “You cant have that“ only intensifies a kids desire for whatever “that“ is. Rather than arbitrarily restricting their TV or computer time to protect them from media infl

21、 offer my own time whenever possible,“ she says. Although Hughes has a television in her house, “complete with 150 channels,“ she says her kids watch only about an hour a week. “I havent had to implement any rules about TV or computer use,“ she says. “Theres usually something else my kids would rath
