The child asks to buy an expensive toy: how to refuse correctly - advice to parents
Usually parents are not eager to visit a toy store with their child.
And this is quite understandable: there is a high probability that the child will pay attention to some doll or car and will start demanding that mom and dad buy the thing.
What to do if the toy turns out to be too expensive, and the parents simply don’t have money for it?
There is no point in putting psychological pressure on the child and blaming him for being “overly pessimistic”.
You need to honestly tell your child about the financial situation and explain that it is impossible to make a purchase at the moment.
How to properly refuse a child a purchase
Did your child ask you to buy something that is too expensive? Say something like: “Yes, the toy is really good. I understand. But we don’t have the opportunity to buy it yet.”
Next, mom and dad should let the baby understand that buying the toy he likes is quite possible. But in the future.
It's worth saying something like: "Maybe we can buy this thing later. But we need to save up money for it. Do you have any ideas on how to do this?"
This approach allows you to calm the child and teach him how to achieve goals correctly.
