How to Raise a Non-Materialistic Kid with the Help of Dr. Laura Markham!

How to Raise Non-Materialistic Kids

Talk about first world problems! This one just about tops the cake. Whilst other parents worry about malnutrition and malaria, some of us are (legitimately) concerned about abundance.

Sometimes it honestly feels as though toys, clothes and books just show up at my door. It feels like the ad agencies want my blood. And it feels like the world keeps saying more = better.

But I know all of that is not truth. I know that another truck won’t make my son happier, just like another pair of shoes won’t make me happier. Furthermore, neither will make either of us a better person.

And that’s not to say there’s anything wrong with trucks, or shoes (especially shoes) – nor would I ever want my child to feel deprived or lesser-than.

Here’s another wonderful Role Play episode with Dr. Laura Markham where we explore talking to young children (5 in this case) about the seduction of “more”, about pocket money, saving, and about what really makes us happy.

Do you ever feel like you’re battling the toys/ clothes/ stuff out of your house? Do you feel that your children’s sense of self worth sometimes pivots on how much stuff they have? What do you do about it? How do you go about raising non-materialistic kids?

Now look, we’re all tired of the over-inflated results that course creators are flaunting on the interwebs. We’re all suspicious of online courses actually delivering on all their bloated promises. So if you think, “Bah, just another expensive course I don’t need” - I feel you, I do. I take the same wary approach when buying new programs. ⁣
⁣
But that’s why I want to share real human beings from all walks of life who have actually been through this course and received meaningful and priceless renewals in their relationships. ⁣
⁣
Like Chelsea, who remarked: “When I joined Parent in Love, I was ready to give up on my marriage. Today, my marriage has had a complete overhaul! It's practically a different marriage altogether.”⁣
⁣
Or Tanya, who reported: "This course has ABSOLUTELY TRANSFORMED our marriage, our family life, and my own personal growth journey! We still fight, but the fights are fewer and we tend to make up quicker and in front of the kids now!"⁣
⁣
And here's what Jonna said: "I have tools that give me hope and I know how to start resolving our conflicts. I have started to notice how my own shift of thoughts changes the whole atmosphere in our home, not only between me and my hubby but with the kids also."⁣
⁣
Check out my IGTV for more amazing success stories.⁣
⁣
Parent In Love is a 6-month deep-dive online program that will transform your marriage from the inside out. ⁣

Ever find yourself waiting for your partner to change? Sometimes, it feels easier alone. ⁣
⁣
As much as you want and need the support - I know sometimes it can just feel easier to run your home on your own. ⁣
⁣
No one criticizing. ⁣
No one judging. ⁣
No one commenting. ⁣
No one watching. ⁣
No one adding to your to-do list with their needs.⁣
No one irritating you.⁣
⁣
Ah. Bliss. ⁣
⁣
But did you ever have these thoughts only to then think: "Yikes! That's not really what I want, is it? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with us!?"⁣
⁣
And what has waiting for your partner to change gotten you so far? ⁣
⁣
Stop waiting... ⁣
⁣
You deserve to have a happy marriage, and your kids deserve to have happy parents. ⁣
⁣
And don't wait on your partner, because the Parent In Love program is DESIGNED to be done alone - so that YOU can focus on what YOU can change: yourself.⁣
⁣
Your partner will necessarily be affected by the changes you make - because that's how relationships work, we're intertwined like that. ⁣
⁣
So TAKE A BREAK trying to change your partner right now, and finally, start to see some real transformation. ⁣
⁣
Psst... Your partner doesn't even have to KNOW you're doing the program - not that I'm suggesting you hide this from them, especially if you two are used to discussing financial investments you make - but I DO want you to know that many members have gone through Parent In Love WITHOUT letting their partners know about it. ⁣
⁣
And what happened? ⁣
⁣
Well, typically their partner would suddenly begin to NOTICE a profound (wonderful!) shift in their relationship and wonder "what's going on?!" ⁣
⁣
If you really want to take this program but you're struggling to work through their concerns, especially about the $ investment, I've provided scripts to help you have those important conversations with confidence. ⁣
