Wait a day before you buy

Why waiting helps you choose what you really want

The story

Zawadi sees a sparkly hair clip at the school gate for KES 80. She has KES 100. Her friend says, “Buy it now!”

The big idea

This is called the waiting rule. Wait one day before you buy something you didn’t plan for.

Ask at home

Ask your child about something they wanted last week, and whether they still want it now.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
