Q: Strategies to avoid spoiling a child?


My husband and I both come from fairly modest roots. We both had to deal at times with not being able to afford expensive toys or clothes. I think that's character-building. Professionally, we've been lucky enough that we are in a very different situation than our parents. I worry that this may result in us "spoiling" our little girl (not that we'd ever be truly extravagant). Any thoughts on this?
