๐Ÿ“œ Toy Overload

My child begs for a new toy theyโ€™ll likely forget. Do I give in to avoid a meltdown, or say no and teach them about wanting vs. needing?

Found 4 solution(s) for this dilemma.

Get it but they have to remove another toy from the house. Make them pick which toy before buying and dont give it them until they have got rid of it. It will make them think about it

Offer a non-toy reward, like a fun outing. Shifts focus from stuff to experiences.
