Do you remember when you were little? All the times you found things you wanted. Christmas is the time when every child is bombarded with the advertising. You almost can't turn the t.v. on or else every fifteen minutes you will have a child running into the kitchen saying "Mommy!(or Daddy)can I have a new....." But they do know what they want, what appeals to their senses. My children are old enough now to get allowance and to save for what they really want. My daughter spends her money on the impulse of the moment. My son saves his money for weeks on end for the big master purchase he has been thinking about for months. But they know what they like and I allow them to get it as long it is not harmful or immoral.
The following article explains how the simple process of getting what you want can be acheived in the same way a child can get what he wants from his parents.
Read on, I thought it was a cute yet informative read.

How a 7-Year-Old Gets What He Wants... and How You Can Too!
Copyright 2005 Tony Mase

Kids are the absolute masters at getting what they want and
my 7-year-old son is no exception. Although he's never read
a word of Wallace D. Wattles' writings (he is however very
familiar with the basics of Wallace D. Wattles'
philosophy), over the last seven years he's reduced how to
get what he wants to a science.

Here's his "scientific" formula for getting what he wants:

1. He clearly recognizes the "source" of his supply.

In his case... Daddy! :-)

2. He's very clear and very definite about what he wants
"next".

It might be a toy or a video game; or to do something or go
somewhere. Whatever it is, he's very clear and definite
about it and, so as not to confuse his "source", he usually
focuses on one thing at a time, the one thing he wants
"next".

3. He clearly communicates his desire to his "source".

He makes absolutely sure his "source" clearly understands
what it is he wants, leaving no room for error whatsoever.

He does this by providing his "source" with a picture of
what he wants, either from a brochure or one he prints off
the Internet, or he takes his "source" to the store and
shows him exactly what he wants (and, in the process, shows
him exactly where to get it).

4. He goes about his business to the absolute best of his
ability with full *faith* that his "source" will provide
when the time is right.

After he's clearly communicated what he wants to his
"source", in his mind it's a "done deal"...

Keeping what he's asked for in mind and thinking about how
much he'll enjoy it when he receives it, he goes about his
business (that of being a "good kid", which he does
perfectly) *knowing* his "source" will "come through" with
what he wants when it's the right time for him to have it.

5. He's very *grateful* to his "source" for all he has and
all that's coming his way.

His "source", who very much enjoys being the recipient of
his gratitude, is as anxious to give him what he wants as
he is to get it. As a matter of fact, his "source" so
enjoys his gratitude that he goes out of his way to
"surprise" him with all sorts of good things he doesn't
even ask for.

There's really not much more to it than that. I can tell
you from personal experience, his "formula" works and it
works all the time.

Let's look his "formula" from a different perspective...

1. Does he set long-range, mid-range and short-range goals?

Nope. He just focuses on what he wants next. My gosh, he
doesn't even put it in writing!

2. Does he set goals in all areas of his life?

Nope. He just focuses on his most pressing need or want at
the moment.

3. Does he set deadlines?

Nope. He learned a long time ago (the hard way, but he did
learn it), it's not a good idea to impose his will upon his
"source".

4. Does he have action plans?

Nope.

5. Does he plan his time?

Nope.

6. Does he go out and try hard to "make it happen"?

Nope.

7. Does he read books, listen to audio programs and attend
seminars on how to get what he wants?

Nope.

8. Does he work on becoming the kind of person who is
capable of getting, or worthy of, what he wants?

Nope. He knows he's good enough the way he is. He knows his
"source" is a good and loving "source" who wants him to
have the things he wants as much as he wants to have them.

Now...

Does he get *everything* he wants?

Absolutely not!

His "source", being wise and all-knowing :-), knows there
are certain things he doesn't really want or if he gets
them he won't like them or be happy with them. In that
case, his "source" comes through with something even better.

Hmmm...

Does any of this sound familiar?

It should. :-)

His "scientific" formula is the very essence of what
Wallace D. Wattles teaches about getting what you want...

Simply substitute "Formless Substance", "Thinking Stuff" or
whatever you prefer to call the "Universal Power" for
"source", follow his simple formula and you'll be well on
your way to getting what *you* want.
