The society we live in today has made the difference between wants and needs very blurry. Everywhere we go today we are bombarded with advertising and messages about products that we should purchase to improve our lives. Does it really improve our lives? It can be very confusing for adults so imagine what it is like for a child. Use the words wants and needs in everyday conversation so they gain an understanding of the difference. No one likes to be around the kid that “wants” everything and “gets” everything. That is not realistic in life.
