It is another matter that the stores themselves can also have certain policies, such as "We do not sell toys to children below the age of 12 without their parents' presence".

My opinion is that parents should be more of mentors and guides, than masters and lords. This is how my parents raised me, for example: I was free to do whatever I wanted with the money that I managed to obtain, but at the same time they would not give me everything I want just like that. They taught me the concepts of personal responsibility and self-reliance, while at the same time promoting the ideals of individual freedom and liberties regardless of age.
For example, they were okay with me playing a video game rated at 18+ when I was 4. What they were not okay with is me skipping my family responsibilities. They were not okay with me promising something in exchange for something else and not fulfilling the promise. If I really wanted some toy, they would probably buy it for me - but, at the same time, they would want me to do something in return. And if I agreed and then did not deliver, it was then that more or less forceful methods came in.
