Outgrowing things we were once comfortable with

Hi,

I know some families in this part of the world that provide their kids with amazing stuff. Be it children's literature from foreign lands (Nosov's books) or exotic play things from the west, these families take a no-holds-barred approach to procure them for their kids.

I had a chance to talk to one of the bread-winners of such families. He had these things to share:

1. They are not buying these things which appear to be of material values. But, in essence, he said that it is part of a life-time-enthusiasm creation journey. He said, the best thing he as a dad can provide to his kids is to remain enthusiastic and inherit the same to his kids.

2. Kids outgrow things very fast. He said, he can remain the catalyst for them to outgrow things around them. (As an adult, have you ever experienced the pain of being afford a favorite comics book that was denied when you were a kid?)

So much stuff to do with parenting in this new age!

Ignorance is bliss!!
