Life changing gifts for our children

Traditional gift giving events for our children such as birthdays and Christmas can be stressful to find that perfect gift. So too, our economy is largely dependent on it in many ways as retailers report their reliance on gift sales. What makes a gift ‘perfect’ anyway? My previous blog has referenced Love Languages. For example, If your child’s primary love language is gifts then thinking carefully about their gift is important and meaningful to them.  Even so, often the expensive gifts are not the goal.  Dr Gary Chapman the author of Love Languages, picked up a rock that he thought would be of interest to his son.  His son’s love language is gifts, and his son kept it in his draw for years afterward.

With that qualification, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is to be adaptable to their needs.  This applies to both intact families and separated families. Parents may have had meaningful connections at different stages of a child’s life, and yet children want and need parents to be responsive to their needs at their current stage. Best Life Counselling have produced a leaflet ‘A gift to children from separated parents’ , which offers an overview about parents learning, adapting and responding to their child’s needs.
