Communication and explanation
Communicate with your child to make him/her understand the restrictions on buying toys and your concerns. Tell your child your thoughts and limitations, and let him/her know the financial and time costs of shopping, as well as other factors that must be considered. If your child understands your worries and limitations, he/she may reduce the requirement to buy toys outside.
Set goals together
Let your child know that you are not against buying toys for him/her, but hope that he/she can consciously choose what he/she really needs and wants. Set goals with your children, for example, you can only buy toys below a certain price every month, or you can only buy toys on certain occasions. This helps children understand the importance and practical value of buying behavior, and makes him/her seriously think about the toys he/she really wants.
Encourage children to use their own money.
When a child reaches a certain age, letting the child buy toys with his/her pocket money can make him/her understand the value of money more and cherish his/her toys more. In addition, it can help children learn how to manage money and save, and let him/her know how to save and plan his/her wishes.
Expand children's hobbies
Find children's hobbies, such as reading, painting, making handicrafts, etc. Let children find other interesting things to kill time and meet their own needs, not just buying toys. This can help children develop a variety of skills and hobbies, and enhance their value and satisfaction.
compromise
Sometimes, it is acceptable to buy toys for children on some occasions or under some special circumstances. For example, children's birthdays, Children's Day, getting a good grade in the final exam and so on. It's time to reward children. However, it is necessary to ensure proper management of shopping behavior and let children know that these special circumstances do not mean that they can buy toys at will.
