Try to sensitize the group, perhaps through role play, to
not making comments that show how much money they have.
Such as: “I go to at least one big concert each month;”
“I only buy my jeans from the best stores;” “I got a new car
for graduation;” “after I get home, my family is taking a
vacation to the Bahamas...”
Encourage your kids to listen more than they talk. Get
them to ask questions of their new friends. (family, favorite
music, do they play “football,” what is school like?) The less
they talk about themselves the less they are likely to make their
new friends feel inferior.
