Parenting Tip #13 First Few No
12 CommentsThis tip mainly for new parents.
I often hear of children crying in shopping mall because they want to get the toys they want but the parents would not buy it for them. How many times you refuse to buy the toy your child wants and he/she cries or screams in public?
It is very important that when you go shopping with your child as early as few months old to a year plus, your first few shopping trips, you have to refrain from buying any toys for them while shopping with them. If you want to buy a toy, you can do it while they are not with you. It will become easier for you as your child learn that it is not the norm for you to buy toys for them during shopping.
If you have started to buy from the beginning, it will be harder to say โNOโ later. It is always easier to start with No, No, No and then a Yes. For my children, they can play with any toys in the shop but they understand that they cannot bring it pass the check out counter. Another word they have picked up from me is โExpensiveโ. Only a few occasions where mummy rewarded them or during their birthday, they can go and choose a toy of their likings. New parents watch out for this.

KW seldom ask me to buy for her, instead, she love to touch and play with it in the mall only. Luckily….

Normally I din buy and I will let them cry but their grandparents is different,whenever they cry or shout their grandparents will faster-faster buy for them eventhough the toys is very expensive ๐

XY doesn’t make much fuss if we refuse to buy toys for her. She knows mummy’s No means NO. But sometimes she’ll kick up a fuss when we’re leaving the complex to go home.

Jeriel will not simply ask us to buy..because he need to tell us why he need it or we will tell him we cannot afford…So he also learn the word ‘Expensive’..har har….

Thanks for the tips ๐ Ashley doesn’t ask me to buy toys BUT she always scream for the balloons ๐

We buy only when she’s in good behaviour.. so she’ll pick a toy of her liking.
I thought you were giving the tip.. “Don’t give in to their crying even if it means shouting and screaming on their part when they want a toy in public places”.
I do that.. b’cos once you give in.. they know that’s their weapon to get things.
