 In this essential holiday episode, Jennifer tackles one of the most stressful aspects of gift-giving season: how to respond when your children ask for expensive things you can't afford. Through practical strategies and compassionate insight, she reveals how these moments aren't really about the toys at all—they're about emotional regulation, parenting triggers, and teaching children resilience through discomfort. This episode is for every mama who's felt the weight of comparison when other families buy expensive gifts, who's struggled with guilt around saying no to her children, or who's wondered how to teach kids the value of money without crushing their spirits. You'll discover why young children don't understand affordability, how to sit with your child's disappointment without fixing it, and why delaying gratification builds stronger, more resilient humans.
