Preemptive tactics

[My daughter and I were at a shop]
[Conversation in Kasaragod Malayalam]
[Daughter]: I want that. [pointing to a chocolate pack]
[I]: No, you had them already. 
[Daughter]: I want that.
[I]: No, no more demands. 
[Daughter]: I want that.
[I]: No, I won't bring you along for shopping anymore. 
[Daughter]: I want that.
[I to the shop keeper]: How much for it?
[Another father-daughter pair were standing next to me]
[Their conversation in Kannada]
[Father]: Do you want that too?
[Daughter]: No. 
[F]: I'll buy it for you. 
[D]: No, I don't want that. 
[me thinking ... Need to employ this]
