description: Dear Parents, The world is filled with opportunities, temptations, challenges, and dazzling seductions-remember Pinocchio's intoxicated reaction to the Land of Toys? How do we best explain to our children that not all things, actions, or experiences are equally valuable? How do we best teach our children that acquiring and consuming are not the main means of making a purposeful and happy life? The answer is not simple, because it requires a child to accept limitations and practice self-discipline. We parents must role-model those behaviors and principles that we're trying to teach. Reading BUT I WAAANNT IT! will help you learn how to use the challenging situations of your daily life with your child as teaching tools. Children learn well from theirown emotional experiences, especially when parents are there to guide them and clarify for them the deeper meaning of those significant events. Shalom,Dr. Laura Schlessinger
