A. Stop buying branded goods. The supermarkets own stuff is usually just as good and they are often produced by the same people who make the branded goods.

How to survive clothes shopping with a 4 year old?
Q. My 4 year old is a nightmare when i take him clothes shopping..running around the shop etc, and getting very impatient. I know that this is probably normal for his age (he has only just turned 4), but what can i do to control him while we go shopping, or is it just a case of not taking him?

A. leave him at home love, he's 4. from his point of view this is a boring activity. not all children are like this but most boys are. if he wants to come to the shop with you then explain to him what you will be doing and the punishment if he misbehaves. it will be his choice whether he goes or not. you will have more fun without him.
