Television and the Internet can flood a young child's mind with many enchanting possibilities to inspire their gift lists! We know that many of the items offered can look much more fun, exciting and interesting that they actually are.
We ALSO know that these are the gifts that get easily broken, because they are not at all practical or durably constructed. We also know that some gifts that are really not very interesting or much fun can wind up being forgotten by lunch time on December 25th. These are the toys or games or gimmicks that will wind up on the bottom of a toy chest or buried in the bottom of a closet. If children were into re gifting it might be the first thing they'd give as a birthday present to that child that they really do not like VERY much!
Here is an idea- Ask your child about the one gift that she or her really wants. Let them advocate as to why they desire it. Let them get excited about the exercise of convincing you. This might become the one present that they will most yearn for. If they offer you sound reasons for having it, That might be a gift that you may truly enjoy purchasing.
As a former teacher, I believe that every moment can be converted into a teachable moment. I also think that learning becomes a part of a child's most treasured activities when learning becomes key to fun as well as disciplined activity!
Christmas as an Educational Stage! Who woulda- Lol- thunk it?
