We always try not to buy expensive and unreasonable gifts for Chloe and we also trained her not to see something and wants it immediately from young. The toys you see here – are not toys that Chloe had asked for – nor are they new – we bought them from a local yardsale – for less than $65 altogether. And we also want to state that we didn’t buy everything for her at once – they all came in pieces and at the time when they are at the right prices.
Chloe had been taught that money is hard to earn and even though she doesn’t know the value of money – she never really ask for a lot of toys. We usually buy her toys from the dollar store and even then – we make it look like it’s a lot to ask. She n ever ask more than 2 toys from the dollar store.
Because she is so good – we buy stuff for her without her asking for it when we see them on sale at the local yard sale – she would be surprised and very grateful with whatever we buy for her. So yes! we taught our kid – her wants and needs and to differentiate it
