Buying your child ANOTHER gift? Think again
Its that time of the year again - the time to give and receive gifts
Are you planning to buy your child a gift for Christmas? And for New Year? And when school close? And then when it reopens?
And does your child know and expect these gifts?
Then maybe you shouldn't buy them.
We give our children gifts to show them that we love them. But with our act of love we could be pushing them into the arms of kidnappers and abusers.
