Christmas is here accompanied by the headaches on how to choose what gift to give your little ones. This very important time of the year can sometimes get out of hand with kids getting so many gifts that they cannot pay as much attention to each of them as they should. They get overwhelmed with so many gifts. They almost do not have time to enjoy each of them basically due to having yet another to unwrap It is difficult to teach them how to appreciate what they have if they become oversaturated at holiday time. Certain child psychology experts believe that limiting gifts rather than radically cutting them out is a good way to prevent this saturation. They even give a specific amount: ideally 4 gifts. Each of these gifts would have a different purpose: 1- Something that they can wear. This can be clothes, shoes, a schoolbag or similar accessories.

4-Something they actually need. This opens up a lot of possible range of gifts and will depend on each child and their needs.
