Saving Money While Shopping with Kid

[Mika]

If you have kids, you already know how difficult it becomes to keep your expenses under control while shopping with kids. However, there are some tips that you can utilize when shopping with kids so that your shopping budget is under control. First of all treat them to a meal in a nice restaurant, when kids are full, they are less demanding. Before you buy anything for yourself, buy something for your kids, for instance some toys that always though to acquire. When they have something they needed, they will not ask for more. Also, opt for less expensive stores to fulfil their wishes without breaking the bank.

These are some really interesting tips and I am sure that they keep the child psychology very well in the mind. It's very well said that hungry kids are cranky and they can be more stubborn with their demands. Parents know their children very well. Each one is different and with different temperament. We understand them and we evolve our parenting tricks around them accordingly. I think giving choices also helps. We know our budget and we can offer them choices to choose from depending on the budget. The ruke should be politely and respectfully laid that one can't demand for things oit of the choice list. This also helps develop the habit of taking financial decisions from young age and can be a very useful life skill later in the life.

I often say that it's never too early to talk to our children about value of money and things. All we have to do as parents is to find a way that is age appropriate and taught in a very friendly tone. Children or rather Human beings at any age enjoy the freedom to make a choice. They feel in control or in charge. This psychology works well with children too. Children are good with imitating adults and they really do it deep down the skin. If you are responsible with your expenditure and talk to them about it, they too pick it up. If you don't follow what you preach, it will never give any result.
