Comments on: Warning: Read This Before You Take Your Kids Shopping https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/warning-kids-shopping/ Sun, 14 Jan 2024 14:30:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Denise https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/warning-kids-shopping/#comment-8413 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=3919#comment-8413 I don’t know how old this post is but this made me crack up! I am a 55 year old Nanny and a mother of 2 adults. I thought this was brilliant and it keeps adults in deep check. We must lead by example. We tend to be terribly impulsive. We can all learn from this article.?

But, I’m keeping this magic trick under my belt for when/if the time comes. Thanks for sharing!

With four small kids, I understand how many times we have to say “no” at the store. *sigh* Maybe I should tell them about the store’s magic and how we need to rise above it! Great idea.

JD, thank you for stopping by! It’s good to hear I’m not the only one with a little less than 100% success rate on the wish list. :-)

Kelly, ohmygoodness. Now THAT is a stroke of brilliance on your part! I wish I could go back in time and start out that way! My downfall was buying her something small one time – a pack of stickers, I think.

I’m just soaking up the mommy wisdom for the moment when my two kids realize that the toy aisle at target is not a destination: the toys are FOR SALE and you can bring them home. They still don’t know.
