All parents know that it is hard to resist a child crying. Unfortunately, children know this, too, and they use this weapon any time they want something. The “combat zone” is usually around the toy isle in every supermarket. However hard they try to avoid it, parents are compelled to get there, and, often, they have to buy what their child wants.

There are some parents who do not want to spoil their children; therefore they refuse to buy the desired toy. In this case, children have a whole strategy, starting with refusing to move away, clinging to the isle, sticking like glue to the desired toy, and crying louder and louder. The result is predictable: the parents give in and buy the thing to avoid further embarrassment.

The funniest thing is that children never use these tactics to get a new book, for example. They use them when they want sweets, toys, and even other, more expensive items. I’ve seen children start crying at the local electronics store, wanting a  Sansa Fuze mp3 player. Not even sweets seemed to help, and parents were left with no choice but to buy the desired mp3 player.

Books on this subject have been written, and we strongly encourage parents to read them, in order to better understand how to deal with their children. Shouting at them is not the answer. Nor is hitting them, and you should never do that to your child. Psychologists have analyzed child behavior and have come up with simple solutions.

It’s never too late to learn how your child thinks, and how you can convince him that crying is not the solution to all his problems. Until you find out the right words to your kid’s pleas, there is no other way but buy him the latest game, or that mp3 player he wants so badly.
