Introduction transcript

Welcome to Needs vs. Wants! Choose what a little character needs for the day. Join Bobi and Mim, take your time, and try one little challenge at a time. A grown-up can help, and you can pause whenever you like.

Notes for a grown-up

No moral judgement about poverty or luxury; never request real household finances.

Completion shows participation, not proven mastery. Encourage discovery, provide help and take a break when needed.
