Are kids today spoilt brats or not ? Greed is definitely a major issue in society today especially at Christmas time. A lot of children are becoming more and more materialistic. Now by all means I am certainly not a grinch, I love christmas, but gone are the days where a doll, a buggy and a surprise were on top of their Santa list. Now its Tablets, ipads or ipods..., if something looks small its not dear right??? Well at least that's how the some kids see it! A quote I got thrown at me from an eight year old child recently, 'just get me something really small like an xbox game, I'm not too bothered'. The thing is, they don't realise that these 'little' things cost 60 euro!.. But are the kids really to blame? They're surrounded by TV ads and magazines tempting them from the end of October. It's not their fault though that they were brought up with these technological devices from early childhood, no board games for them!!! They've been stuck to computer screens from a really young age. As I heard my dad say recently "the only time I ever asked for a tablet as a child was when I had a bad pain'. I want, I want, I want... Most kids are so caught up with wanting they forget about needing. They could learn some lessons from the poorer children, the ones whose smile fills a room when they receive the smallest of presents, the ones who appreciate the little things. Isn't that what we should all be like???
