[quote=Anonymous]This is a good way to teach how to prioritize wants vs. needs. Sure, part of me would like to have a couple bites of burger, some salad, a handful of fries, a bit of clam chowder, some fruit, a little edamame, a spring roll, a few spicy tuna rolls, and maybe some lamb vindaloo. But that can’t happen, because I’d explode (myself and my budget) and have more leftovers than I could manage, which would also be wasteful. So tell your kid that, yeah, both of those options look really good. You know he wants both. But he doesn’t need both, so he needs to choose one to have now, and one to have on your next visit. If he’s a kid who’s used to limits, this will be a relatively easy thing for him to handle. If he’s used to running the show, this would be a good time to start changing that. [/quote]
