Open the door to communication
Communicate frankly with children, so that children can understand the value of goods and the price of shopping. Discuss their needs together, get a deeper understanding of why they want something, and explain why this item is not wise in the current economic situation.
Make a reasonable budget
Let the children know the family's financial situation, work out the budget for this item with them, and plan how to use these budgets reasonably together.
Instill a sense of economy
Take this opportunity to teach children the importance of saving money, teach them the methods and reasons for saving money, and let them truly understand the value of money.
Encourage children to be self-sufficient.
Give children some small tasks or pocket money, and let them strive for what they want through their own efforts.
