Gift Giving Made Simple

During the holidays many families struggle trying to teach their children the spirit of giving, instead of spirit of wanting.  While it is fun to buy gifts, their is often a sense of entitlement, the constraints of a tight budget and sometimes it seems impossible to not by "just one last thing!"  A staff member at BHF found the following guide for gift giving, as a simple, practical tool to help parents and children set boundaries around the holiday season.

Each child, or family members receives:

1 Thing they Want,

1 Thing they Need,

1 Thing to Wear

1 Thing to Read.

Not only does this make shopping simple and practical, but celebrates literacy and a life-long love of learning.
