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.
