On Christmas Eve...
Can you resist the urge to buy your child a gift? No. A gift is a symbol of love. And when every child. Is being showered with love - in the form of gifts There is no way you can make your child feel unloved by not giving a gift. All of us will give gifts because we want our children to feel good about themselves. But when we choose gifts it is important to ensure that we create a long term feel good in the form of self-esteem - instead of a short term feel good. Choose gifts that raise self-esteem Self-esteem rises by - 1. Overcoming a challenge like by solving a jigsaw puzzle 2. Learning a new skill like learning how to skate / waveboard 3. Caring like caring for a doll or a soft toy Most children have suffered a huge drop in self-esteem because of staying home through the pandemic. Choose a gift that will bring it back.
