Have you ever met a more persistent creature than a child trying to get what she wants? Children demonstrate their insatiable appetite for the things they see advertised on television, in magazines, on the internet, in stores, and their friends' homes. Parents are often forced into some sort of hostage negotiations at inopportune times- in the candy aisle of the grocery store, in the toy aisle of the shopping mall.
Children, by nature, are impulsive and self-centred. They don't know the difference between wants and needs, or how to calibrate their needs or prioritise them. Most kids typically spend more time with their friends, so they become increasingly exposed to all of the merchandise out there. They have a new social awareness that causes them to frequently compare themselves with others.
