teach him the value of money, start out by telling him he can have so much for helping you by picking up his toys and doing little things that a three year old can do. Its never to early to start teaching him about these things. Because he will need to know them later on in his life. It teaches them that they have to work for what they have and they will appreciate it more in the future. Dont let him have toys every day. Take a piece of paper with you and a pen and if he asks for something write it down and tell him that he can get this for his birthday ... these are just a couple of suggestions. If he starts throwing a tantrum about wanting something take him out to the car, explain to him that he cant go back into the store because of the way that he behaved. Tell him until he can act like a good boy in the store that he isnt allowed to go into the store anymore. Leave him home if you can with his father or a family member when you go out to the store. for a few weeks... Next time he wants to go to the store he will more than likely be good and if he isnt take him out to the car again and do the same thing.

My two boys did the same right up to the age of 8. They are bombarded with cool and flashy commercials on TV and all the shows they watch have toy versions of the TV characters.
Try associating a new toy to a reward system that involves good behavior from your son. What toy depends on your financial situation and the patience level of your son.

Let him know who is the adult... say NO! Dont let your children control you it the othe r way around. Be the adult be strong when you talk to him. Let toys and treats be a reward for doing something not an everyday thing. Find other ways of entertaining your child, take him to the park, for a ride in the car something different spice it up and I am sure he would not even remember that he wanted a toy.
If he throws a tantrum stick to your guns, let him cry it out i know it will be hard.. who likes to hear their child crying. Let him know you love him and will always be there for him , but he cannot have a toy today.

I also became a child. I am now 19 years old. But, I never ever ask for any toy when I was a child. My mom always says that it will be great if we travel in the park, do some colors in the coloring book. And aside from that, my mom told me honestly that we don't have enough money to buy a toy. so, when I was a child, I realized that we are poor. I must study hard so that when I grow up, I can buy what I want. Just be honest to your child. They will really appreciate what you have told to them. Just approach them in a nice way that you still care for your child.

Just because he asks doesn't mean he really wants them or that you should get them. It's not a matter of control. Put some of his toys away and gradually switch them out with the older ones.
Get a grip on yourself, he's just testing you. Wait till he wants $100 tennis shoes, a new car, etc.

its not the toy he wants, its the entertainment . I don't think you spend enough quality time with him so he feels he needs toys to entertain him. Its also become a habit...he asks/you give. Arrange some play time with kids his age. Put him in a pre school, or spend some real quality time with him and he won't feel like he needs a toy

Hey this is the time when he will always be asking for things. Its your pocket which will decide whether you can afford to give him that toy or not.
If it does not suit you pocket , than just refuse it. But remember he is a child, try to convince him or give him another toy and convince him that you will give that toy some time later.

Rotate his toys out. Buy some Rubbermaid containers and put half or as many toys in there that you can. Put them in your closet and every other weekend (or you can do this bi-weekly) switch out his toys. It worked for my son until he caught me at age eight I forgot that school let out early that day.

u shouldn't want to control him but let him know that he has to play w/the toys he has for months until he can get new ones.. show him a calendar and let him check off the days as they go by.. also u can let him know that he'll get toys on his b-day and xmas, etc....
