Summer vacation is ending for my kids and most of their friends are back from summer camps and family trips abroad or in India. Most of them went to exotic vacation spots around the world. On their return, the kids spoke about their trips and all the designer clothes and bags purchased and the upscale restaurants where they ate gourmet meals. It seemed like there was a competition among the children on who went for a fancier vacation, or who went to the most expensive summer camp. I notice this peer pressure all the time.
