My daughter is 4 and she gets things/toys from relatives often, she’s realized that her “wish list” is usually fulfilled and now is constantly asking for something. The toy she has her eye on, that doll bed, etc. To me this is becoming a serious issue and constantly have to explain that just because she sees something that she needs to have it. I want to talk to our relatives to reduce their gift givings but my husband said if they want to why stop them. And that I’m over exaggerating.

I don’t want my child to be focused on material things and telling others what she wants in hopes she’ll get it.
