- A common guessing game while standing in a long queue is the perfect moment to explain to your toddler the difference between a need and a want.
- According to popular financial portals, daily reminders about the difference between buying food and a new toy brings great results
- A calm conversation about the small candy bars placed near the cash register effectively inhibits children’s reflex of throwing everything into the trolley.
- Research from the PubMed Central website clearly shows that free phone games deliberately use well-known cartoons to trick children into buying new gadgets.
Why does a child want to buy everything in the store? Main reasons
Sometimes going to a large supermarket with a toddler ends with crying for a new toy or sweets. Children see things at every step that seem absolutely necessary for a happy life. We simply call this phenomenon confusing real needs with mere, fleeting wants.
Children are not born with knowledge about home finances, which is why we show them the world around them every day. As we read in the educational materials of the American Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, it is worth explaining clearly that we cannot function without clean water and food, but we can without another figurine or game. Children naturally get emotional quickly, which is why they crave all the colorful new products on store shelves so much.

How to explain to your child the difference between a need and a want?
A great way to learn every day is through simple games organized during regular household chores. For example, we can play guessing games in the living room or while shopping, using the following methods:
- pointing the finger at ordinary objects in the house and deciding together whether it is a real need or just a want
- a quick game of being a smart detective while standing in a long queue at the checkout, consisting of looking for three necessary and three additional things
- jointly looking at small products arranged at the checkouts and talking calmly about whether we really need to put them in our basket now
Such small, inconspicuous lessons done along the way build very healthy habits in children. When your toddler begins to notice this small difference, it will be much easier for him to give up unnecessary and sudden expenses.
