They receive toys are more expensive but to make them really happy are things that can not be bought
We are always thinking of giving toys, clothes, books, cars and video games. They want everything that can not be buy: our time, the serenity of the family, the affection of the people who are close to, the ability to make new discoveries or new thrills ..
From research conducted at national level were interviewed 1,100 children between 3 and 11 years, is often found that the toy, the size and increasingly huge status symbol of the family, is a tool used by parents in an unconscious way to break down their guilt for the non-presence, a kind of compensation. It 's so that is perceived by the children, who see in the toy a tangible sign of a presence so desired.
Against plush dangling from the shelves, sophisticated radio-controlled cars, video games aside in every corner, the children surveyed claim to be truly happy when they run, they're in the company of grandparents and cousins \u200b\u200bor walking in the forest "to seek the wolf in a fantastic game with their parents. "The survey reveals that" things "the most desirable in the age group between four and five years are balloons, candies, chocolates, packets of trading cards, bicycles, tricycles, roller skates and colored pencils. But in the case of dreams, the real gifts, those who fill the pages of secret diaries, the subjects in the classroom, stories whispered in the ears of the friends of the heart are: "When I go skiing," "When I stayed two or three times from my grandmother," when we went to the theater, "" when I saw the Christmas tree, " "When I sleep with the dolphin stuff." The 'object of desire is always more magical, rare, and especially the cost is affordable to all.
therefore does not cost anything to give our children what they desire most: time to spend together. Why - Think about - Be together at home, at the same time, it really means to be together. The sharing of emotions with our children through an exchange of words, feelings and experiences. Go through the emotional closeness. Then in the evening, we try to turn off the television and flip through a picture book with our children, focusing on images and descriptions. We read them a story, holding in her arms, with the light a little 'soft. Let's look at the rain that falls from the window, even without speaking. Over the weekend, spending time with them. Now that the weather is mild, we discover with our children, the sound of leaves blowing in the wind in a forest, the murmur of a stream, feel the texture of bark of trees. And who knows, these moments are simple and precious, to be the most coveted gift, so rare and magical, to our children.
