One day we entered a friend, her four-year-old daughter and I to a toy store. The little girl searched the shelves with enthusiasm and when she killed us, she didn't tell her mother to buy her a toy. My friend had taught her since childhood that not always when you enter a store you have to go out with something in your hands. A favorable point in the education of children.
Go shopping with the little ones It can become a stressful activity and there are certain aspects that should be considered when performing this activity with children:
Try to avoid going out at peak times. Generally there are more people in the afternoon, it is best to leave early in the morning. If your child is tired, hungry or sleepy it is better to leave the purchase for another time.
It is not good to do a marathon, going through several shops will exhaust you with the consequences that this entails in your behavior.
Have him participate, you can load the lighter bag, give your opinion when you are choosing a product, helping to place the objects in the box, let him help you push the cart or the basket ... There are some stores that have carts for children, seats and Other resources at our fingertips.
In the case of making a tantrum, try to distract him, let him calm down; But never give in to your order.
From small children we must teach them what is the appropriate behavior in a store or supermarket. This, of course, is something that is achieved little by little taking into account the age of the child, with a lot of patience and especially with calm.
