As soon as the children arrived at the supermarket, they started shopping indiscriminately. How should parents communicate?

Once I was shopping in the supermarket and saw a mother shopping with her three-year-old daughter. Mom answered a phone call temporarily, and in a few minutes, the whole shopping cart was full of things bought by the children. After the mother hung up the phone, she reluctantly persuaded her daughter to put the items back on the shelf one by one, and said, "I already have this toy at home, so I can't buy it anymore." The child began to cry, stretched out his little hand in an attempt to stop his mother, and even lay down and rolled on the ground. Seeing more and more people onlookers, the mother reluctantly bought what the child wanted.

Many children open their mouths when they see what they want to eat and play, forming a bad habit of liking the new and hating the old. In this matter, parents should learn corresponding coping strategies to avoid the above incidents.

1. Make a shopping list with your children before shopping.

When shopping at home, you should list the things you need to buy in advance and encourage your children to actively participate in this process. When a child has a plan, it will be binding and will not buy it indiscriminately when shopping. After children form good habits from childhood, they will benefit for life.

2. Encourage children to buy things they like with pocket money.

Parents can give their children some pocket money when they are five or six years old. When children want something, parents can encourage them to develop the habit of saving money, so that children will develop good consumption concepts and financial management ability.

3. Delay in satisfying children's shopping desires

Parents' appropriate delay in meeting their children's needs can help children control their desires and exercise their ability to resist temptation. When a child insists on something, parents should patiently communicate with the child, reason with him and get the child's understanding.

Parents should set an example and cultivate their children's consumption concept.

Some parents' shopping desire is expanding, and they send more than a dozen couriers every day, which is euphemistically called taking advantage of discount promotions to buy more and save money. This will affect children invisibly, and children will consume without restraint, thus being controlled by desire.

Nowadays, there are so many kinds of goods in supermarkets that some adults can hardly control their desires, let alone immature children. Parents should help their children cross this hurdle, cultivate their children's good shopping and consumption habits, and don't let material desires ruin their children.
