Kids nowadays have everything and then some more. Between parents, doting grandparents and aunts and uncles children are spoilt for choice. But there is a section of kids in our society who are not so fortunate. Their parents may not be able to give in to all their wishes. We must all teach our children the power of sharing, of maintaining their toys and games so that someone else can use them and be happy.
