Keep Asking Mom and Dad For That Toy Over and Over and Over…It Works!

December 20, 2012 by Nicole 1 Comment

When parents were asked in a recent survey* about the most persuasive technique their child uses to get the toy he/she wants for Christmas, the top response was when the child asks repeatedly for something.

DID YOU HEAR THAT, KIDS? Keep asking Mom and Dad for that toy over and over and over again, because IT REALLY WORKS!

Earlier this week, I conducted a survey of my own, asking blog readers where they were hiding their children’s presents this year. There were some pretty creative responses, including: inside the Christmas tree box, outside in the travel trailer and some parents were even keeping the presents in a locked closet.

Where are you hiding your child’s Christmas presents this year?

Kids are willing to do almost anything to get what’s on their Wish List. According to Walmart’s Talking Holiday Toys Survey, 68 percent of kids said they would clean their rooms daily for a year, while 84 percent would work hard and give up playtime. However, only 23% of kids would eat spinach for a year to get their holiday toys.

Other fun facts from the survey:

  • Even though most children think being Naughty or Nice all year will determine the amount of presents they receive, 78% of parents plan to buy the same amount of toys regardless of their child’s behavior!
  • Parents and Kids disagree when it comes to Wish List toys. Parents are looking for educational toys, while Kids most wanted lists include dolls and action figures.
  • The second most effective way for kids to get what they want (Remember 1st place is to nag your parents, kids!) is to ASK SANTA. Write a letter or sit down in Santa’s lap and tell him face to face.

 
So as you wrap up (pun intended) your holiday shopping this season, don’t forget to check out the toy selection at Walmart. Walmart has hundreds of toys on rollback prices in stores and online at Walmart.com. Thousands of toys are eligible for free shipping to home on qualifying toy purchases of $45 or more, or free shipping to any Walmart store across the US.

*Survey Methodology
The “Walmart Talking Holiday Toys Survey” was conducted by GfK Public Affairs & Corporate Communications utilizing GfK’s KnowledgePanel. The survey polled 1,009 children between the ages of 3 –11 and each child’s parent in September 2012.

    Kids sure do know how to get what they want..lol.. They tell everyone that asks or will listen exactly what they want.over & over again..Mine usually got what they wanted, even if I had to stand in line forever to catch the last one..( Cabbage patch doll when my youngest daughter wanted one so badly) . The one I got was cute had a smashed box but that didnt matter..I felt like I won a million dollars when I finally got her one.Lol.. Her older sister was the one that would look high and low for the gifts and usually spoiled her Christmas when she was older…Then I got smart and started putting all the gifts in our Garage and locked the door…I got frozen every Christmas eve dragging them into the house, but it was worth it..Oh what memories..Merry Christmas…. :0)
