Episode Synopsis

This is the Beggar’s Bowl,The weekly edition of my podcast                                                                          Wherein I highlight one financial principle of the new lifeAnd beg for spare change.Children need a healthy sense of low.If raised with too much, they come to expect it.Many a marriage has been ruined By a partner whose expectations were set too high.For this reason, set boundaries around the things that they possess.But do not say that they cannot have a thing,Only that they cannot have all things.One way to do this is with space.You might give the child a small space in which to put their treasures.The only rules: that they keep it clean and organizedAnd that their possessions fit within the space allowed.If a new treasure doesn’t fit, look at the old.Is there an unloved thing that can go?If not then consider a slightly larger space. But be firm.  Teach them to keep only those things that they use and cherishIf done with love, and patience,The children will self-regulate And grow into an understanding Of what is important to them.If you find these podcasts useful, Please consider a donation of 50 cents.The links to do so are in the description.To donate: https://paypal.me/thetracklesspath
