I have to share I am so impressed by my 9 yr old. Today, she went to a birthday party. It was at a kids accessory store. Each girls was given a budget of up to $25to buy whatever they wanted. The place was one of those that was all sparkly, colourful, like unicorns and rainbows had exploded. I even liked the stuff, as it was so cute.
They had 2 hours to shop and when I went to pick up my daughter, her basket was empty. She said she didn’t want to buy anything. I ask her why, and she said the few things that she like she knew she could get elsewherefor a a lot less, and didn’t think it was right to buy useless things just because someone was paying. She didn’t think the items were worth it.
So proud of her. She evens said that other kids spent all of their budget and ask if they could have more. I always worry that my kids would be spoiled as they do get a lot, but I think she going to be fine.
I just had to share.
