| Aug 28, 2017 at 10:43 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | Pretty much what you wrote in your question: it's an opportunity to teach her that things don't magically replace themselves when she throws and breaks them. Re-explain her calmly when she starts begging for a replacement. (If she were a teenager, I'd also suggest she work her way into buying a new screen to give her a sense of how work goes into buying an iPad.) | |
