Why is this good news?
Once the basic necessities of life are provided, children don’t need a lot of expensive stuff. They don’t need expensive outings or the latest toys. In fact fewer toys can actually be beneficial for families.
What children really want from us is really simple
- Time
- Attention.
- Love
- Acceptance
- Patience
That’s all. We can lavish those things on our children without worry or expense. What a relief!
I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Let’s start a conversation in the comments below.
This is such a great reminder, I have to say. Usually my son want both, my presence and the toys. #LetKidsBeKids

LOL Su! My boys would have said the same thing. Now that they are adults they talk about the time we spent together, rather than the toys they got. Somehow the presences seems to stick in the memory banks!
That is very true, it’s not about material things, it’s about being there with your time and attention.
