It's really lucky lottery baby, is not it? Just look at her your daughter. She is beautiful, of course, everyone says that movie star will appear when you grow up. She is healthy, just the usual childhood diseases, and the ninetieth percentile in height for their age. Needless to say intelligent, was the best Thanksgiving contest kindergarten last year (OK, so flubbed a few lines, at leasthear!).
But if it is so perfect (and she has parents so perfect), what is the nagging fear in the pit of my stomach?
"Buy me the doll! Now!"
Ah, right. And 'the fear that maybe, just maybe, could the boys, the youngest child ... spoiled. What a voice, eh?
Children today are burned advertising, since they are aware. From TV commercials, have warned that it can not live without the latest new and improved ... whatever ... on billboardson the football field, the children should be separated at the heart of rural multi-billion dollars of their parents'.
So how do you say "no" to an angel?
The best way is to start when they are young. The child will understand the concepts of value and money, but when you start these discussions early in their development, will be used since it is enough to understand in order. It will examine you when you say no, their jobs, growing as a person. Another part ofYour task is to learn their limits and yours. If you say no, gentle, but firm, and persevere, learn, finally, that annoying begging and not working.
Do the job for you. Even small children can understand the concept of reward. Add some 'new tasks, those of their normal, daily. When added to these new responsibilities, regularly, promise the new ... whatever ... price. You begin to understand the value of work as well.
TV is the babysitter of our time, but you canLimiting the amount of your daughter watch commercial TV, and thus their exposure to advertising. Parents, make, often when they go shopping with their children, many of these toys TV seems so big and beautiful in junky seem so small and on the shelves, and their children are less attracted to them away.
Even in grocery stores know how to connect the interests of your daughter. Toys and candy to fill the shelves at the track cash, and she is obliged to want something.Show your list, shop before you go and explain that the purpose of the trip, to buy things the family needs it, and if not on the list, does not need it. Or make a deal with you before your trip to the store if you have enough money after getting the family needs, you could buy a small article when it was useful and well trained. Many parents find it easier to buy in times when their children do not go during school hours or laterthe evening.
The most important thing you can do for you and your perfect angel is to recognize that the tears of your daughter does not necessarily make you a bad mother. The setting of limits, is limited to new ... -whatever they may help teach responsibility and make your living is much more comfortable in the long term.
