Do not show the vanity in themselves. Wear little or no make up. Have very few mirrors. Do not focus on appearance. Stress education and they will be able to figure it out for themselves.

I think it is good to encourage children to respect themselves and to believe in themselves, but you also want to let them know that they are no better than anyone else because of what they look like or how much they have materially.
A good balance of self respect and humility is what you are looking for.
Children need to be encourage to do their best and take pride in their accomplishments, but they also need to be told that just because they look a certain way, ware certain cloths, or accomplish certain goals (good grades in school, sports, etc.) does not make them any better than anyone else.
Also, I would not constantly tell children they are cute. It's okay to have them feel good about themselves, but if you over do it, they could become vain.

You can brag on your children and praise them when they deserve it. They need this, it helps to build their self esteem and confidence. But, you can over do a good thing, not only giving them the dose of pride they need, if, over done can cause vanity. It's not their fault. They are led to think they are better than any one else. Not the parents fault either! As a mother, I know how easy it is to "over do" compliments. So, we as parents need to learn how to pull our chain now and then for the benefit of our children.

Well, work for their own money, I know that has nothing to do with being vain, but if they do that not give the kids everything, hold out on the kids, till they actually deserve it. Yeah, I think that will work. God, it sounds like I'm being mean.

Nothing much besides taking away all the mirrors, magazines, and friends that their children have. these are some of the factors that affect a persons personality and vanity. the parents have to trust the kids to not get too crazy with their looks and re-assure their kids that they are beatiful no matter what they look like. kids believe that

Preventing vanity is not possible. Everyone is born selfish.
Best course of action is to educate them about the behavior and help them distinguish vanity from self-confidence.
Don't try to start the education too early.

Do not compliment them on their looks.
Compliment them on their achievements and good deeds to society.
Have them work on physical health - as opposed to beauty.
Beauty fades - brains are forever!
Volunteer work awakens the giving spirit.
Provide subscriptions to magazines that enhance intellect and change in the world.
