sales lady

It is nice to hear this. You can yourself buy it from her by paying token currency or real currency and tell her as she grow old she may be able to make very big things and sell them in the market. You can play shopkeeper-buyer game and teach her also a little maths. Is she going to school? perhaps now it is summer vacation.

My daughter used to set up a art sale every once in a while I used to buy the art work from her so that she would feel all proud having a sale. How ever one day I was all out of cash and was not able to buy them but was shocked when the neighbors came by to see what my daughter was up to and they ended up buying her art work. They even commented on one of them telling me that when she becomes a rich and famous artist they would have one of her early painting. I was even more shocked when we were invited over for coffee to see that they had framed her art work and put it up on their wall. I will never again tell my daughter that she cant do something like that because people wont buy it. I was so wrong when I said that to my daughter. I also think that it teaches a child the benefit of a little hard work and to not give up because when you give up you have lost. As for her broken heart if she does not sell any thing today dont let her give up tell her that the right person has not come by and that she could keep trying. For my daughter they seen her out there for a few days in a row and their curiosity got the better of them. Perhaps your neighbors will see her out there with her sign and wonder what she is doing enough to come over and check it out. Good luck to your daughter I hope that she sells them all

I do not really think faking a sale will do much for her self confidence. It would be better to just be supportive when they do not sell.

that sounds like a good idea, ask your neighbour if she would do that for you.

If you know your neighbor well, I don't see what's wrong in asking her to do that.

Good idea, if you are willing to "buy" her sword. Then, ask her to save money in the piggy bank.

so cute. what spirit she has. i would do that. why not? by selling even one would give her the courage to continue with the entrepreneurial spirit. maybe she will grow to become a multimillionaire if she continues on selling?! many of them started off just the same way as your daughter.

It is a hard thing when kids do this sort of thing real life hits them.Part of growing up I'm afraid.

Ha, that's so cute. I think you are in a hard situation because like you I would either buy them or ask someone else to buy them that way she wouldn't be heart broken as well but then to if you do this she wont learn heartbreak and the lesson that not all things can go her way. It will be very hard to see her saddened and heartbroken over it but it is easier to teach her this lesson while she is young than trying to teach it to her when she is older because it is going to be extremely hard then.

There's nothing wrong if she could not sell it. It will be great if you explains her what is the reason for not buying her item rather than convincing her that someone bought it because they really like what she is selling. This might teach her that not all in the market for sale can be bought easily. I know she wil feel depressed but it iwill be alright. This migh motivates her and let her make a better one for the next sale. Compliment her also with her eagerness to earn money. At her young age, she starts to think of how to earn for herself. Nice attitude there.

awe that is so cute and heartbreaking all at the same time. I would so buy one. ask the neighbor lady,it cant hurt and i bet she would do it! LOL what a cute little one!
