I am always torn between what is best for my kids and what society thinks is best for them (i.e. commercials, parents). My son is always making things with his hands and then playing with them. He is also always looking out to the newest toy. We have noticed that the less T.V. they watch, the less they look out for new toys. Wow, how encouraging!

It's wise to invest for your son's college plan when he was an infant. I agree that self developmental or educational activities promote creativity such as kids making their own toys. I made my own toys like a windmill from coconut leaves and ran againt the wind. I polished coconut shells into bangles. I also made my own kites, lanterns, etc. I was an outdoor person. Today I use those gifts for children's ministry. When kids from church see me, they would request that I make something for them out of paper, tissue paper, old greetings or clay. However, it is easier to shower kids with store bought gifts. Their friends have certain gifts and they also want to have the same. The peer pressure is pretty challenging. I'm glad you are training your son against materialism. Jamy,
