Open Means Open Means
We are no more the rulers.. we are conqured by the li’ll champs..
They are the kings and queens in the consumer market..
Child is the new customer, and the most effective one..
Studies indicate that children constitute around 25% of the total consumer market. Now that’s a huge figure..

Kids rulezz.. not only the market but watever they do..cute quotient works I gues..be it tv ads ..movies or daily soaps..everywhere they hit the bulls eye..
Do I need to quote examples.. ofcourse not.. m sure while reading u might have already thought about the tare zamin per or the balika vadhu kid..

Yest I saw a kid in pantaloons rolling over the floor and crying out loud to black mail maa-paa.. they got embarrassed and had to but him the soft toy he liked..

M not saying kids are at fault.. but the market is flooded with cuuute products.. be it toys.. water bottles.. school bags.. stationary.. gadgets.. they are all soo irresistable..


Gone are the days when kids would save every single penny they could collect to put into their cute piggybanks.. they black mail the parents and parent out of competition they give best to their kid surrenders..

How do u overcome the same?

this is a bitter fact,but i think that we r more responsible than them.emtnl blkmlng is their weapon.just simply do 1 thing-let them cry 4 smtime thn give them sm options like if you want it u will have to eat karela ki shabji or sm bitter stuff.if u eat it 4 few days,i"l grt u the things..now see hw it workssssssssssssssssss.i hv tried it and it wrkd..sonal.

Hey Megha this time you are doing a nice job means you are talking about small child it is exactly true. your thinking about these all children are right. One little child coming in this world who dependant only his/her parents. Only his/her parents are them world and this world they are watching this type labourwork in which they doing a lots of work for his studies and also his/her extra activity like photoshut for add, for serials and for movies its like a labourer. Now this time they enjoy them fullife and enjoying childhood but they are not enjoy them life because of only this media and also them parents.Aaj nu balak e avti kal nu future che to su avu j apnu future hase? K j bija na enjoyment mate pota no bhog aptu rahse. Aaje to tea banavta j taro new blog read karyo and mane bahu j gamyo to thau lav tea pita pita j coment kari didhi. Ok bye.have a nice time.

hey mirchidaar megha… it is really true that kids sometimes make you feel really awkward in a situation when they want something and it is not right according to you… in those cases, you are left in such a state where everyone around you thinks that the kid is so cute and the parents are so bad, they don’t allow him to buy such a small thing.. for them it is a small thing, but for the parents, it is about their habits being put at stake… my kid is quite small now, but I have a thought, a way that I have heard my parents used when we were small – they took us to a store, and if we liked 2 or more things, they would tell us that we can choose only one of them… this developed in us a thinking that we cannot get everything that we want at the time that we want… also it helped us understand the value of money… and yes it also developed a choice in us- which of the things is really important for us at the moment… I hope I can inculcate all this in my kid… I think it is not necessary whether you can afford it or not, but the point is that you need to know whether you really need it… even we can afford to get the best things for our kids, but I don’t think it is necessary that only the branded things show your value… you need to be really good at heart and a very good human being…

hi, Megha there is no need to embarrass coz parents around u know this blackmailing verry well n younger gen will know that sooner or later.... don't fulfill their each n every demand, wisely choose the need....othervise they will go for the habbit of doing blackmailing....once they know that blackmail works than they will go for that everytime......

i have the best idea for that..... as u say above, v saved single penny for the gift for our mom n dad, do u know why, coz v seen our parents to do so save money n go for the need only..... v can't force children to save money or resist them from unnecessary expance but v can do so....they will follow the parents only so as v will do they will learn..... this is mantra to make them learn anything possitive that v want.....isn't it? i haven't kid right now but i will see it will work or not, definitely it will help u in future..

Hi, Megha i have good incident 2 share with u. અમે એક દિવસ મુવી જોવાનું પ્લાન કર્યું, તો મારો નાનો ભાઈ અમારી સાથે આવવા માટે જીદે ચઢી ગયો અને અમને પણ નાતો જવા દેતો, અને અમારે એને નાતો લઇ જવો કારણકે એને મુવી જોવા માં કઈ જ રસ નતો, તો પછી અમે એને મનાયો કે જો મુવી માં તો ખાલી ત્યાં જઈને બેસી ને પાછુ આવાનું છે, એના કરતા તને lays નું packet અને એમાં પિચકારી Free આવે છે એ લઇ આપીશું તો એ તરત જ ખુશ થઇ ગયો અને અમને કીધું કે સારું તમે લોકો જાઓ , મારે નથી આવવું તમારી જોડે. અને એ ખાલી 10 RSમાં માની ગયો 150 Rs ની જગ્યા એ. એમને લાલચ આપી ને આવી પરીસ્તીથી hadle કરી શકાય .

Hi, Megha, Yes u r right, today's kid's generation are much more intelligent and smart then 1980's. They know everything without train them, and their requirement are also costly to satisfy. but I feel, now a days with this fast growing world, what is happening with children, is good for them and they really want it. They must walk with this fast growing world. God knows what he is doing with little kids. Thanks Bye. Paresh Bhatt

Hi Megha, The blog really is interesting.though being single, i really am concerned about my gen-next babies and their sweet tantrums simpally irresestable. Some examples... i was shopping at a populer hobby cum books store a month back. the crowd all included hardly 10% adults whose basic task was to bring the young brigade to the store and let them take the staff/store on a sroll. the entire stall was full of twittering of the kids going here and there and at the billing counter I saw the parents taking a big burn in their holes. books,toys, hobby things made none of the bills below Rs. 1000. take the example of my own home,where i see my young cousin haggeling with his parents for not keeping a normal soap at the wash basin but a liquid soap dispenser. where my uncle buys formal shoes worth rs 1000,he asks for casual crocs costing rs 1400. No doubt the young gen. is going to be smarter day-by-day here some tips to make them realise value of the hard-earnt money. -teach them to evaluate alternatives/ options.they have become conciuos about brands,make them aware of "value for money" mantra. -control/watch your own spending habit as your kids would follow what you do. -avoide use of credit cards. -make schedules for outing-malls are not the freakout destinations and they promote impulse buying. -try not to take children along when you go to malls for your daily shopping. -ask them about what they like and then make them aware of alternatives of the same. Thanks, Dhara Joshi (9879204865)
