Question

14．You are from a middle class family，and live in a normal size home without any showy possessions，but you are surrounded by surprising consumption（消费）．This contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son．You are worried that he will want to live as they do，and wonder if you should move．
    Sometimes big pocket money，joyful birthday parties，special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do，and that they're not as careful as you are with money，but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do，talk with them as freely and read to them every night．
    Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while children play by himself，way off in a wing of his own．In that unfortunate case，he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly，but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal-size house，too，if he has a TV a computer and a few video games in his room．Even the most caring parent doesn't walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching，what Internet site he has found and if he's playing that video game．
    Too much uncontrolled screen then may lead to a certain loss of innocence（天真），and if it doesn't，you might decide to move．Don't judge your neighbor too harshly（严厉地），though．There're some things that are right with almost any neighbor and some things that are wrong with the best of them-like those super-big houses．The wealth of their owners-and the way they throw money around-may make your son feel sorry for himself，unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money，give some to people who don't have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs．
    Children want-should be provided with-explanations when their parents don't give them what they want．
