Saying no to children at Christmas, allows them to mature intellectually and emotionally

The consumerist frenzy is lived by adults and children, adults are clear (at least the majority) that we must resign ourselves to certain desires impossible to fulfill, we learn to live with the frustration of seeing our consumerist desires fulfilled. However, a child may not understand that you cannot have everything you want and that there are many reasons for this, according to experts, adults we should not be afraid of not fulfilling certain children's wishes by telling them no.

Specialists indicate that children should learn, as adults have done, to live with the frustration of not getting what they want, in fact, this feeling will accompany the child throughout his life and the sooner he learns it better. Being psychically prepared for it is something that parents should teach our children, try to get the little ones to acquire responsible consumer habits away from compulsive consumption, do not also allow children to influence the purchases we must make. It is evident that compulsive shopping is guided by the situation, the moment and the publicity, Christmas has become much more than a family reunion or the commemoration of the birth of Jesus, in fact, it has become a reason to eat better , buy more, etc. It seems that common sense dissipates and in many cases it is bought compulsively without taking into account the economic consequences that this causes, we should not introduce children to this wheel and we should set an example.

The specialists warn that an excess of gifts slows the intellectual maturation of children, being in the future people dissatisfied with themselves, since nothing will ever be enough for them, toys yes, but with moderation and knowledge, that is the guideline that will allow Our children value what they have received and in the future, be responsible and capable of supporting the advertising and consumerist harassment that occurs every year.

It must be said that children are the target of advertising campaigns and that the pressure exerted on them is brutal, a constant bombardment that does not occur throughout the year. Our "no" should always be reasoned and dialogued, a "no, because no" will only increase negative feelings of frustration.
