I just now realised that I used the marketing-strategy on my son a year ago … I had to send about 20 applications to places in the area and wanted to deliver them myself as this would be cheaper than the stamps. I had to take my 5 years old boy (just turned 5) and I knew this could be boring. I told him we would go on an adventure playing make-believe – “playing a postman”. He so loved the idea and even after a year remembers it and asks if we can do it again. Packaging something can really make a difference. Thanks for pointing it out to me

You’re completely right. We’ve already had to do that, because as you said,
you don’t want to over explain everything.

Exactly… also keeping a happy medium since some parents also over explain things…

I think there are moments to entices and others that will come to the point where you tell them that is how it is because mommy and daddy make the ultimate call.

That is how we were raised! Just do what you’re told and don’t ask questions. Yes, connecting with a personal story can do wonders for kids.

Don’t underestimate it! I was “selling” my daughter on things as young as 2.

Very useful advice in the years to come. I guess most of the time parents just want kids to do things because they expect them to execute on command. Other give too much explanation but don’t really entice them into what they want the kid to do.

The one I enjoyed the most was about connecting. I always try to connect with people and find a common interest. So why not try it with your kids to get them something different as your example of giving her coconut water.

Great Topic Marketing for Kids

haha! Love how we acquire certain skills from our parents. I’ve never heard
it called coco wash, but that’s cute!

So true. My mother calls it “coco wash” seriously, while I was growing up she was really good at it and now I seem to have acquired here skills. lol

Great parenting! I think it won’t work on 2 year old yet but I have to remember it for the future when it gets a little bigger.
