As someone that had a degree in child development I want to do a PSA announcement on behalf of the kids of divorced parents/grandparents.
A gift is generally considered a symbol of love, but if you buy a gift for a kid but it has to stay at your house, it’s not a gift. (And you should be ashamed off your self.) This impacts self-esteem making them feel like they are not deserving of the new things and can give them anxiety about future gift-giving situations. If you gift it… they can take it home. Period!
This happens to several kids this time of year and it’s long lasting!
It happened to one of my kids and I saw the repercussions of it for years!
Don’t be a jerk!
