He needs consequences for not taking care of his things.

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

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

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

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.

I dunno. I'm an engineer and I didn't break things. I took them part carefully (even at 5) and put back together with dads help. But I had very very few toys and no plastic toys besides legos and nothing with batteries (not from this country). If I broke things on purpose to "hear it breaking" I got spanked and no one fixed the toy so I didn't have it anymore.

That was sh@tty parenting.
