❓️How to Deal with: "Mama, bakit bawal ako? Pero sila pwede?" 😭

Sa akin, simply "because that's wrong." I've always tried to talk to my child like an adult in a way that I don't baby talk him or inuuto or whatever. I talk to him para maintindihan nya, hindi lang para i-appease sya. If hindi pwede bilhin, I tell him the truth, "we have limited money, hindi natin pwede bilhin lahat. kailangan pa nating mag-ipon/ magwork more para makabili nyan, etc." ...if it's toys "you already have too many toys at home", "...that food is yummy but not healthy", etc. "Kapag may nakikita tayong mali, hindi natin ginagaya"... Kapag tama ang gawa whether I see on my lo or sa ibang bata, I'm quick to praise. Pero kapag mali, I also point out na mali iyon at hindi dapat gawin/ gayahin. Natural lang na malungkot at magtantrums din si lo ko after explaining, still it's a "no". I always tell him "It's okay to cry if you're sad or frustrated, but that doesn't mean you'll get what you want." When he's bit older I'll teach him "Just because everybody is doing it, it doesn't make it right"
