Is it normal for 4 year olds to just want everything and whinge all the time? And also how to deal with it?
Mine is Lego obsessed and obviously there is so much different Lego out there. He's got loads and he does play with it. But then he suddenly decides he needs the next thing and he fixates on it and goes absolutely berserk that he doesn't have it.
I tell him he can't just have it, he can wait for birthday or Christmas. He's very high strung and stubborn so it goes on for ages, screaming and sobbing. Repeating I WANT IT NOWWWW
We don't let him watch you tube or adverts but he sees magazines or the little leaflets that come in the boxes with all the other sets you can get and he studies them.
I find it so hard to tolerate because as a child I barely ever got new toys and don't remember reacting like him and thinking I should be allowed them. Also because he's got a lot of toys already, and everything he could ever need.
We occasionally buy him a random treat toy but not just because he wants it.
I don't know what I'm asking but is this normal parenting for him to act like this and me to feel so furious about it?! Obviously it goes without saying that I utterly adore him! I'm proud of his Lego skills. I don't want him to become entitled but it's like he already is a bit. ☹️
