It's been a while since I arrived in PP and I've been approached by children quite a few times either to beg for money or to ask me to buy something from them.
Now I'm pretty firm on not giving the kids money as it encourages them to beg, which is never a good idea. On the other hand, I don't know if I should be buying something from the kids who're selling stuff, coz' I don't think it's such a bad idea for kids to understand the importance of work when they're young, yet I suspect this will prevent them from studying.
So for now, I've yet to do anything for them money wise (only gave them some of my food). What about you? What do you do when you encounter begging children or children who sell you stuff?
