We'll be taking DD4 and DD6 for their first visit in May. I know there will be lots of "Can I get that?" "That's the best thing ever...PLEASE can I have that?" I think it would be good to have a set policy on the way we'll handle souvenirs to cut down on the begging.
A.) Refuse all requests and say "On the last day, we'll let you pick one thing out." I figure if there's something they're still jonesing for on their last day, it's worth buying.
B.) Set aside a dollar amount and tell them it's theirs to spend as they see fit but when it's gone, it's gone. (This would be difficult for DD4. DD6 is learning about money now)
C.) Tell them "We'll buy you one stuffed animal and one other thing and THAT'S IT".
D.) Unidentified other choice
We're very good about sticking to our guns. Does anyone have advice for what's worked for them with kids in this age group?
