Next steps
Keep talking about needs and wants when you are shopping or planning meals. If you are in the shop and they want a packet of sweets you can talk about whether sweets are needs or wants. Maybe they are a want, whereas some other food is a need because you will use it to make dinner.
Online shopping can be a great time to talk more about needs and wants. Children love it when packages arrive and might be interested to know what is in the box. Maybe something you need has broken so you ordered a new one online, or maybe you ordered some new clothes because you wanted to. Talk to kids about whether things are needs or wants when they come.
Remind kids to think about their needs and wants when they are spending money.
