M. Plančiūnas. Children's expenses on non-existent items: problem or opportunity for dialogue?
As a father of two boys, I frequently hear their requests: "Dad, can you extend my screen time by another hour?" I’ll admit – it’s not always easy to say "no". Kids love gaming and often ask for money to purchase virtual accessories like armor, weapons, or exclusive character skins. In these moments, I’m reminded that my role isn’t just about setting limits, but also about teaching them the true value of time, money, and making thoughtful choices.
