Starving Your Child from Toys?

Do you have to lock up everything? No, not really. You can put some stuff that doesn't have a lot of entertainment value in it. So why we like to do this is because whenever you limit the access to good stuff and you buy something new, the interest and getting their attention becomes tenfold easier. It's basically starving them. And I'm using this term as an ethical way. I mean, if it wasn't for you, they wouldn't even have it anyways. Right? So you want them to not always think that, oh, these are all mine. It's free access. I can get whatever I want. You want to buy something new, and then you use it as an opportunity to. To do more teaching. Expand interest and pair it with other toys that they don't like right now. Teach them as a task, reward good behavior. And that's the only reason why. Because they don't think they have ownership of the things. They have ownership of things. You're not starving them too much of fun. You have some stuff they have free access to, but not all the good stuff. The good stuff needs to come from you.
