Holiday gift-giving can be wonderful, but it can also be a struggle of wills with our children. Tune in to Fox 4 to hear ideas from our Parenting Expert on how to teach your children that there’s more to the holidays than the gifts.
Where the “gimmes” come from
- TV and media advertisements
- Peer pressure/ desire to have what others have
- Parents want the best for their children
- Ease of just giving in
How to combat them
- Limit TV watching
- Determine, as a family, your family values
- Focus your family outward
- Engage in your own family traditions
- As gifts come in send the same amount out
