Is it permissible to lie to small children in order to pacify them whilst they are adamant ? For example , if the kid wants something from the shop but it is not good for the child , I say to him or her ' I will buy it for you next time when we come here ' ?

It is not permissible at all . In this way , you are raising him to lie like you , so the child becomes stubborn and a liar as well ! The correct way is that you tell him the facts . Also this is the correct way to cure his stubbornness . May Allah عز وجل grant you success . واالله أعلم
