Also, #question for all those smarter than me: My kids are living a pretty damn idyllic life at the moment while the world is falling to pieces for so many people. We already have conversations about how other people don't have this stuff, buy stuff at thrift shops, bring them with us to donate things, read all the books we can find at the library about other cultures and people, and even go so far as to ask them to pick a toy they don't really like from their birthday parties and then have them donate it to a toy bank.
Short of bringing them along to an unhoused shelter or having them help serve food to others, how can we drive home the fact that this is a privilege and not a right, to have a life like this?
They're still really young (kindergarten), so trying to start this convo now but not a lot they can do in actionable means.
