[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't get toys with lots of parts - they're always crap.

[b]He needs consequences for not taking care of his things[/b].[/quote]

That’s so easy! Let him play with the parts he didn’t manage to break or lose. It’s perfect. [/quote]

He’s 6, not 16 FFS. He has no concept of value. It’s OP’s job to teach him that.[/quote]

But he does have the concept of breaking something and then it not working. Even my 4 year old does. [/quote]

Children break things because it’s FUN! They want to see what’s going on inside and they enjoy the sound of things breaking. Do you know nothing about children? I shudder to think what your childhoods were like.[/quote]

No, your six year old should be able to go to school without breaking all the toys there or to a friends house without breaking all their toys or to a store without breaking toys. Same with their own toys. A six year old who breaks all their toys either has no respect for property or has an aggression / anger issue[/quote]

Yup.[/quote]
