How These Pet Hamster Toys Cost Me 3 – Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters
What do you do with teen behavior like this? He has punched holes in the walls, is mouthy, violent, aggressive, makes his sister cry and steals her Mp3 player. When parents have to deal with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or just simply violent teen behavior, that they do not know where to turn.
Anyway, I needed to get a birthday present for my daughter, so it seemed like which one to get had been decided…that was easy. At 7 dollars a pop and with the addition of a few well chosen hamster accessories, I was convinced I could better her friend’s Zhu Zhu hamster plush setup for much less than 100 bucks.
Popping down to my local Wal-mart and Toys r Us turned up only sold out replies. Not the best response when your daughter’s birthday is quickly approaching. I must have driven to every possible toy outlet in the local area for the rest of the afternoon, but everywhere was the same story…no stock…sorry.
Back home and I hit the parent’s haven for all things kids related…the internet. They say that the internet is the largest shopping place in the world and sells everything and usually cheaper than the stores…THEY obviously never tried to buy a Mr Squiggles! All my favorite online stores had basically sold out, but there was stock available from people that had bought up the limited Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters and hamster accessories and were selling them at, what I would call, outrageously stupid prices. No way. Not me. Not again. Mr Squiggles and his hamster house will just have to wait.
So, how do you deal with this sort of teen behavior? Research shows that children from violent homes are much more likely to be violent adults. We also know that behavior modification techniques learned by parents on child behavior programs are the only way to break this cycle. When the children of parents who had been on these courses were compared to those parents who simply did nothing, there was a 60% difference in the reduction of violence and other problem behavior. This research was carried out at the Feinberg School of Medicine at the Northwestern University.
5. Don’t give them what you loved as a child unless you know it’s something they want.
6. If your children want something you can’t afford, tell them up front that you can’t afford it.
7. If you have several children close in age and are choosing one big present, make sure each child gets a small present that’s just for them.
Now sit back and enjoy birthdays, Christmas, or Hanukkah with your kids and grandkids. Make believe with the dolls, build things with Legos, and laugh along with the silly toys. Just remember to take a couple of videos of all the fun. Kids (and their parents and grandparents too) love watching old family videos. Now there’s a great present for everyone
