 I make sure I remind my kids that their access to me and their mother all day is more valuable than any of the other status-seeking, compete with your friends, neighbors, & relatives fiat horseshit.

Also, reminding them that they are not locked-up in a government school for 8 hours a day helps too.

I find that the most committed to fiat gamesmanship are those adults getting allowances from mommy/daddy.
