1. Do not succumb to festive hysteria

The first thing you need to pay attention to is that, in fact, we are on the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays. Around there is a whole hysteria - gifts - you will go to the Internet, and there will pop up a plate “Best gift for a child” .., a film - if we watch, parents are preoccupied with gifts.

You need to understand that around us is the real hysteria! It is advisable not to fall for it.

In fact, your task and your right to choose which gift you want to give your child: expensive, inexpensive, 5 gifts or one gift. Decide, do not listen to everyone who speaks from all sides.

Think for yourself what you want and what your budget is - an important point - because sometimes we are torn between these “I want” and “I can’t”. It upsets us, we become irritable.

Listen, ahead of the holidays and you can already relax, make a plan and act on it, adhering to some specific strategy that will allow us not to spend and be in a good mood, to choose gifts for everyone, including a child.

2. Is it worth buying "fashionable" gifts?

The second is fashionable gifts.

The industry around us is designed in such a way that they put what we want into our heads. It’s not only for us alone, that children also get into their heads what gifts are most needed now and what they need to have - well, you just can not breathe, but he should have this gift!

And every time they are different things and at different cost actually. Just recently, for several months there were spinners in the top. Almost all children had them: of different colors, modifications, in young children, in adolescents - all went with them.

A year ago, many children had gyroboards or small skateboards.

There is always some kind of top. You need to understand that when a child comes to you, says, “I want to have it,” he really thinks that he wants to have it, because his friends have it, because the video of the bloggers he watches in YouTube, because they are shouting about it from billboards.

[sc name = ”rsa”]

He goes into the store and these products are displayed in the most prominent places. And everything is so thought out that your child’s brain would catch it.

And what is important for the parent here? You need to understand what the child really wants. If you can allow it, then just buy it without further ado, because it has been tuned to it. There is nothing here if you can and it is not dangerous for his life and health.

The second point - do not tell the child: “I will think”, because he thinks you said: “Yes”, and simply this “Yes” will come either in 5 minutes, or in an hour, or tomorrow morning.

This will be the first question your child asks you: “Well, what? Have you already thought? We are buying?"

Therefore, if you are against some fashionable untwisted gift, you just immediately tell your child: “I'm sorry, dear, but this is not - because ...”

It will be more honest and easier because it will wait. Everything else will be perceived when it is not now, and in the understanding of the child, time flies in different ways, much faster than ours. Therefore, they will always get you questions - "When?" When? When will I receive it? ”

Either decide and say yes, or say no immediately.

3. The gift does not have to be meaningful

Some parents put in a gift some kind of useful meaning, or some idea that may completely not capture the child.

You know, I met parents who bought, for example, a completely different machine for a child because they thought that he would play with it longer, it had more functions, and so on. And they completely forgot that he did not want her at all.

I also know the story of how the one of a kind watch was the first in Ukraine to be presented to a child, and there was not much enthusiasm. This really upset dad because he thought the child would appreciate that he was the only owner of such a watch. And he really wanted something completely different, simpler.

And there is no sense in the gift at all!

Another useful gifts from the same story - when we give what children do not want, but we think that it is useful for them. We, as parents, are simply obliged to buy useful things at the right time. And gifts should remain what pleases.

This is the law - the gift makes no sense! This is emotion, this desire, this is fantasy, this is joy for a reason completely incomprehensible to us.

Therefore, let's give children something that will delight them, that is, gifts in which we sometimes do not find any sense.

4. A gift does not have to be expensive

The fourth thing you need to pay attention to is that often, what we buy for our child is actually our parental ambition. Right on our channel I saw comments that 2 IKEA cuisines for 7.5 thousand rubles - wow, how expensive! But to be honest, a child doesn’t care - Ikea’s kitchen - to play with her, or Ikea’s kitchen - to play with her.

There are many manufacturers who produce equally high-quality products, but at a completely different price. Therefore, if you are the parent who buys gifts of certain brands in certain stores - great! If your budget pulls, it’s not a question if it makes your child happy.

If the budget does not pull, just look around and choose something of high quality and at a completely different price.

Our ambitions are only our ambitions, believe me! Here, nevertheless, we choose a gift for the child and he should please him.

Maybe I’ll say such a thing. Many parents want to buy a child some kind of branded item that the child really wants, and, sometimes, it is an expensive gift.

I know how sometimes for birthdays or New Years, when we all go with presents anyway, my parents made lists for guests. They said: “So, we are buying such a castle, and you will buy this one in this castle, and you will buy it, and you will buy it!”

And as a result, an expensive gift became absolutely feasible, and one day the child gathered the whole collection of toys that is attached to this castle, and it was a very branded toy, very healthy, very welcome by the child. But at the same time, parents were able to do this, because they agreed with friends who would buy something, going to the New Year's party.

Just think, I think, any problem is solved. It’s important to simply understand what exactly we want to achieve as a result.

5. How to choose the best gift

Throughout the year, you can write down everything that the child dreams, wants, or has ever come up to you with the question: "But I want this here, can I have this?"

If you are the parent who remembers what the child wanted - cheers! You have a list now. If you recorded - even easier, you have not forgotten anything.

But if you are the parent who has not done this for a year, and you and I are waiting for the Christmas and New Year holidays, then there is a cool way to find out now exactly what your child wants. This is to write with him a letter to Santa Claus, or Santa, or St. Nicholas, in which he will list the points.

Do your best to read this letter later, even if the child writes it on his own, without you. Then you will only have one task left - to find it all, buy it of the best quality and give it to your child. And you will see how you will make him absolutely happy!

Actually, this is probably one of our most important tasks as parents - to make our children happy.

An important point that I want to draw attention to here is that holidays are holidays, they happen several times a year as global as the one that will be now - New Year, for example. But there are gaps between them when our children also expect gifts.

And this is our parental job - to buy gifts for children often. They do not have access to the budget, they still do not earn money. And we are their parents, and it makes sense to pamper children with gifts. They can be of different prices.

Sometimes a set of gel pens is a gift for your child. I remember, I bought my daughter, and this led her into complete delight! Because it was at that moment that she painted with these gel pens, and that’s all she needed - and she was in seventh heaven!

Think about what pleases your child, and give small gifts often at inter-holiday intervals.

See you, happy and joyful holidays! I wish you to heartily please your child, and so this parental choice of which gift to buy is easy for you this year.

In anticipation of the New Year, both children and adults carefully think out New Year's images in which they will celebrate the holiday. Looking through bright photos of New Year's suits, it is not always easy to make a choice, because they are presented in a fairly wide range.

All the kids love gifts, but some parents just play with their child and thus try to compensate for the lack of attention that they give him.Parental care is more important to a child than heaps of toys. Naturally, festive events should be accompanied by gifts, but to the best of financial means and based on the preferences of the child.

I believe that the child certainly needs to give gifts, on holidays such as New Year or Birthday, they should be mandatory. In other cases, gifts must be earned. And it doesn’t matter whether it is branded or not. A child must understand from an early age that in order to get something you need to prove yourself.
