Day 7: Let your kids own their gift-giving
Speaking of freedom, give your kids full freedom to select gifts for others. If they’re younger, you can help by taking them to the store and guiding them toward thoughtful items, but if your child can drive, let them take full ownership.
Giving them some additional funds to work with is one thing, but actually buying gifts for them to give to others is actually snowplow parenting. Plus, it runs counter to any lessons you have been imparting about generosity or gratitude.
