I suppose kids have always wanted whatever they want - immediately. I think one of the most difficult things to do today is to teach a child that instant gratification is not always possible. Eventually, most people learn that lesson - some, not until they've filed for bankruptcy or are thrown in jail for a crime.
I certainly don't have all the answers. My guess is you should make children learn how to save money. Give them money for doing chores - have them find the price of something that they really want - make them save the money until they have enough to buy it. That is a lesson every person should have.
