Whether you are planning for an upcoming birthday or the holiday season, buying gifts for children is always exciting. Perhaps because of the innocence of children, and seeing the sheer joy on their face, it can make anyone smile right along with them. But, as a parent, sometimes showering children with gifts can leave you a little concerned as to when you cross the line from loving a child to downright spoiling him. Depending on your parenting style, there are some who would say that you can never give your child too many gifts too.
Giving a child too many gifts can cause a number of different issues according to some parenting styles.
These issues are just a few of the reasons why some parents choose not to shower their children with gifts and to avoid the problem of a spoiled child.
Contrary to the aforementioned style of parenting, there are some who believe the opposite and that the more gifts that you give a child the better. Typically these parents don’t believe that gifts spoil a child and they want to make their child happy through all means possible. Many people give gifts for the sheer pleasure of making a child smile and being able to give their child something that perhaps they didn’t have when they were young.
While many parents want to show their child their love and make them happy with even small gifts, one thing is for certain, even small gifts constantly throughout the year can take a little bit away from the fun of a holiday or birthday gift. These holidays and celebrations are something that children typically look forward to because they are fun and do often come with gifts, but if they got some gifts the week prior to the holiday, where’s the excitement? Gift giving can certainly take some of the sparkle and magic away from holiday enjoyment. Whether or not it creates a spoiled child remains controversial.
Sometimes, when you are in a new relationship and a holiday is approaching, you might find yourself having the age old internal conflict – do I get him/her a gift or not? You are certainly not the only one to ever wonder this, or to find yourself asking how much gifts actually matter in a relationship. But, the answer to this question isn’t one that can be answered with a simple yes or no.
There are a lot of factors that go into it, not to mention the answer is sure to vary from person to person. Before you consider purchasing any type of gift for the person that you are with, ask yourself some of the following questions?
The truth is, we all would like to think that gifts aren’t important to a thriving, successful relationship, but it is nice sometimes to have someone do something nice for you, whether or not that gift costs money is up to the giver. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple conversation with your partner about gifts in general. You might find that the person you are with doesn’t believe in gift giving, which could potentially make or break a new relationship.
Have you ever purchased cheap jewelry for your baby or your child? Do you know that these jewelry may contain toxic metals like cadmium or lead? Babies and toddlers like to taste everything and anything and oftentimes we find pendents lockets and other jewelry in their mouths, and sometimes they even get accidentally swallowed. In 2006 a boy from Minneapolis swallowed a locket broken off from a bracelet. He eventually died of lead poisoning. So, if you want to buy jewelry for your kid, make sure you buy real jewelry and not cheap knockoffs that can harm your child.
Children love receiving toys as gifts during their birthday and festive occasions like Christmas. However, do you know that certain toys may be a health hazard for children? For example, certain types of colored chalk have been found to contain mercury, and necklaces for girls have been found to contain cadmium. So, when you are shopping for gifts for children, make sure you check the country origin and so a quick online search for the brand of the toy before purchasing. You may think that toys and gifts for older kids should be safer as they would be less likely to put the toy in their mouth? Not exactly. For example, when when shopping for gifts for 7 to 12 year old boys, a certain type of friendship band has become quite popular recently. It is quite certain that the child will like the gift, but do watch out for arsenic, a substance that has been linked to blood disorders.
The other major threat to children actually happens in the home. Every year, many toddlers and babies get seriously injured when they fall of stairs, or when they slip into dangerous parts of the house like the swimming pool or the kitchen, where they may get seriously hurt by boiling water and other hazards. In fact household accidents account for the largest number of accidents every year in America for kids and toddlers under the age of seven, more than any other type of accident. This underscores the importance of childproofing your house to ensure the safety of your babies and toddlers.
One important safety precaution you can take is to install retractable baby gates. These are security gates that serve as barriers to hallways, doorways, stairways, and other potential areas hazardous to babies and young children. A retractable gate is convenient because it can be easily taken out and installed in other areas giving you greater flexibility.
Of course, even with all the childproofing measures taken, you still need to keep vigilant and be aware of your child’s movement. No amount of external safety precaution can replace the vigilance and care of parents.
