In advance in the video: How strict must parents be?
If you are often annoyed or worried because your child wants so much and apparently never has enough, we know advice.
Such a shopping with a child is always a gauntlet run. Because in addition to fruit and vegetables, there are also more and more toys, books or clothes in supermarkets and discounters. Not to mention the meter -long candy shelves. There is hardly any series of goods in which children don't discover anything.
And unsuccessfully as the little ones are, they would also like to have a lot of what they have seen. Here is a toy car, because a doll and the book, "Look Mama, I don't have that yet."
In the course of a half -hour shopping, the shopping cart would be, if you had the children made, it would be full. Only food would probably not be in the car. Why is that? Why do children want so much and don't seem to know any limits when it comes to consumption?

The world of a child is primarily about itself - and in all situations. If a child is hungry, then the "now, and not right away, mom." If the child sees something he likes, then it wants it. There is no thought that mom and dad have to pay for how the money is earned or what material this thing has.
Reading tip:How children learn to accept a no
Empathy and compassion, just as mom and dad await it from the child at that moment, does not yet have it at a young age. It does not understand when mom and dad after the third "Please, please, please", and it does not understand if he is accused of being ungrateful and should remember that there are children who have much less . Oh god, this sentence!
Dear parents, hold through and stay strong!
Until then, parents have to grit their teeth and keep their nerves. At some point it pays that they have ignored the reproachful eyes of the fellow human beings in the supermarket because the child stood out tears and sobbing in the supermarket. At some point, children understand that they cannot have everything.
And at some point you are one of the fellow human beings that other parents of younger children observe in the supermarket. And then we know what we can give you on the way: hold through! Stay strong! Don't lose your nerves! The day comes when your effort pays off. Most certainly!
