When Your Child Makes an Unauthorized Amazon Purchase: What’s the Right Response?

Last night, I discovered my 9-year-old had ordered something on Amazon without asking me first. I was shocked and honestly a bit frustrated—how did he even figure out how to do that? I know kids are curious and tech-savvy these days, but this crossed a line. Now I’m torn: What’s an appropriate consequence that teaches responsibility without being too harsh? I want him to understand the value of money and the importance of asking permission, but I also don’t want to overreact. Has anyone else faced this? How did you handle it?
