"Estimate how much you spend a year on your kids' clothes and then divide it by four (for each season) or 12 (for each month). Younger kids can be in charge of just part of the budget, and older kids can try the whole thing, says Atlanta pediatrician Jennifer Shu... The strategy allows kids to complain about Abercrombie's prices instead of 'how cheap you are'..."Psychologist Margot Touris also suggests talking to kids about the shows they watch. For example, children who watch Gossip Girl may think that the show depicts real life for most teenagers, when in fact it's only reality for a select few. Also, the clothing that many celebrities wear is given to them - another fact that may help teens put their fashion needs and wants into proper perspective. Source: Newsweek
