How can I make shopping trips with my kids easier?

Bringing your child grocery shopping can be an enjoyable experience for both of you, and a further education in food and nutrition for your child. Here are some simple “store rules” you may want to follow: If possible, bring your child shopping when she is neither tired nor hungry. Give her a healthy snack just before starting.

That way, she’ll be more interested in the process and less interested in wanting you to buy everything she sees. Stores are designed to entice your child to beg you for food; don’t be surprised if she does. Conflicts are less likely if she sees you shopping from a list, rather than appearing to make arbitrary choices.

You may want to avoid the cereal aisle, at least, while you are shopping with her. When she asks for something, you can add it to the list, telling her that at the end she could pick out one thing from among the things she’s added. Or she could pick one fruit, one vegetable, and one treat for the family.

If there are things you won’t buy, try to tie it to a reason or policy so it doesn’t seem arbitrary. Never give in to tantrums in stores. It’s better to stop shopping and carry her out.

If you do give in, tantrums are more likely on future shopping trips.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
