Expansive gadgets for a child
Very often there is a problem in a family: a child asks for expensive things that his classmates have like brand-name clothes, some modern toys. It is a simple situation as young children always like to boast and to show their supremacy. As a parent you should be wise and first of all think of the things you can really afford. And then try to explain to your child why you cannot buy this brand-name shirt. Never say “no” to your child’s requests. You should say “no” when his requests exceed your guidelines. It makes a big difference how you will say. This word can become either a bridge between you and your child or it can become something that’ll make him closer to you. If you say “no” in an angry voice and start to cry without any explanation, your child may feel as if you do not understand him at all. The best thing you can do in this situation is to explain and to look with favour on child’s wishes. You can say like this: “I wish you could have everything you want but you cannot have these expensive shoes. We want to spend money on good food or on some useful things or to go on some trip. ”You do not have to give some wonk explanation, you only should let you child know in a few words what your thinking is. He (the child) must understand that he is brought up in a family and that he has to consider the needs of the whole family.
The main thing you should pass on to your child that all material things are much less important than love, respect and attention. You should have enough patience to listen to your child attentively when he will tell you not for the first time that he cannot live without this modern shirt, trousers and so on. This is just feelings. Your child won’t die if you don’t buy him one more toy that is so popular among his classmates at this moment. Letting him tell about his wishes and requests, you make him closer to you. As parents we must encourage children when they can cope with their emotions and feelings or vise a versa: we must teach them how to do it if they are not able. Your child must be assured that his life won’t change if you don’t buy him the thing he dreams about.
