Children
should learn
to share at
Christmas
Most child-care authorities agree that it is
important for youngsters to learn how to
give and share at an early age.
The holiday season presents parents with
an excellent opportunity to teach their
children the enjoyment and pleasure of giv-
ing gifts not just receiving them. Gift giv-
ing is an integral part of social communica-
tion and is a tangible extension of friendship
and love.
There are a variety of presents for young
children to select from that are appropriate
and inexpensive choices. Children should be
encouraged to use their imagination when
choosing gifts for friends and family.
Homemade gifts made by children
themselves, such as baked goods, arts and
crafts projects or original poems and stories
will be appreciated choices and also allow
children to express their creativity.
Store-bought presents are also excellent,
particularly if they are purchased directly
by the child with his or her allowance
money. By spending their own allowance,
children will better understand the value of
money. Many psythologists believe that this
enhances the child's self-image and instills
the notion of responsibility at a young age.
