Four Year Old Shopaholic
Quote From: tina2010She has to learn no.You have to do her a favor. And let her know she can't have what she wants or she is not going to learn. You can't give in because she won't learn. I rather you deal with it and pay attention to what is going on because she might create a scene at the store. Mom you are here to guide her. She needs to know we are nor buying toys. She will get it someday that she can't have what she wants. Don't spoil her becuase it is only her future and she is only going to be young once eventually she will get it sooner or later. Before you know it she will understand. Just becuase she is my mother she doesn't give me everything just because she loves me. You are here to buy food and put roof over her head My question is why does Mom allow Auntie to disrespect her in this manner? It is hard enough to teach values and survive without having someone else come in and disrupt all that you are trying to teach your children. Getting a backbone is only one of the things Mom needs to do. I cannot imagine what a trip to the store must be like with the 4 year old, but most children that age learn by watching the adults that are in their lives. Too bad she cannot be learning about earned income, interest income and savings accounts.
