With parents today worried that they are raising the "I want" generation, What Kids Really Want That Money Can't Buy arrives at just the right moment. Betsy Taylor's advice ranges from simple, everyday things parents can do to more sophisticated approaches, such as teaching media literacy and financial skills to their children to fight this problem. Along the way, she enlists the voices and stories of parents and educators on the front line in this "war" against consumerism. She also promotes the philosophy of how to have "more fun" with "less stuff" by returning to simple and meaningful rituals like dinner conversation and nature outings. Striving toward a life in which the "hand, heart, and homemade" is highly valued, this inspirational guide from Betsy Taylor offers a much needed helping hand.
