    “Take her to the dollar store.”

    You’re kidding! Heart’s street-cred wouldn’t let her anywhere near the place!!!

    If your ‘no’ means ‘no,’ you don’t get dramatic meltdowns. I regularly take my boys to the toy store. We play with the toys while we’re there, and then we say goodbye to them when it’s time to go. If we’re buying something that day, we talk about it before we go in, and that’s what we buy. That way they don’t have any unrealistic expectations, and we don’t have any histrionics.

    Agreed, myhaircut: if Addy wonders why it happens every time, the answer is, “because it works.” ;) That said, sometimes “no” is hard to stick to!

    Why go to a toy store if you aren’t going to get something? Heart is like any typical kid - that’s why this is one of my favorite strips.

    One of my nephews at 4 or 5 would pull outright tantrums if he didn’t get what he wanted…I don’t think he and his wife have kids yet…wonder why?

    because it’s fun to play with the toys they have set up as demonstration models, and it’s a good way to get ideas for what small children are going to want for birthdays/Christmas. My kids don’t watch TV shows with commercials, so they’re not told by the advertisers which toys they ‘want,’ and they’re not in school yet so they don’t have other kids telling them what’s ‘cool’.
