A survey of 400 youngsters by the Action for Children charity found most wanted their parents to spend less this Christmas.
A majority of young Scots are worried the cost of living will make this Christmas a more anxious time for their families, a survey has found.
A third of the youngsters surveyed also said they were concerned that a friend or classmate they knew would not be able to afford presents. The charity has helped people such as Hugh, a father of two young daughters under 10 years old, who lives in the north of Scotland. The support targeted at families with children aged 0 to 12 offers practical and emotional support, alongside activities like clubs and groups for parents and children.
Fiona Steel, national director for Scotland at Action for Children, said: "It’s easy to think that poverty happens elsewhere, but our research shows we face an ongoing cost of living crisis in Scotland and need to hear the words of young people about supporting others this Christmas.
