Hey everyone, I’m fortunate enough that, when I take my daughter shopping, I will usually buy her a small toy (she doesn’t go with me often). Depends on the situation, but that’s the deal for the most part. We keep it around $5 and haven’t had issues. The last couple of times we’ve gone out, she’s asked for toys way out of that price range and I tried to explain that they’re too expensive but that she can choose from A, B, or C $5-8 toys. Tantrum ensues but I’ll give her another chance, tantrum continues, we leave, no toy.
Is there a better way to explain finances to a child 3-4 years old or is it just enforcing the boundaries I’ve set (you can have A, B, or C)?
