First Christmas present

Actually technology has lots of things to offer. I did grow up in the technology age myself. Yes there risk but when a parent watches and guides correctly it’s not that bad. Children that has learning disabilities actually benefit from it the most. We do have an iPad time where they can use it for reading games, math games all through there school. But we also have a lot of books, the kids play outside as often as they ca.

@ShyBear88 that's the best still playing outside and "make believe" congrats!!!

@Mavic123456 haha yeah, or playing tag or whatever. Some times they take out baby dolls, chalk. I get a lot the out door stuff for like Easter. It’s also why we want to move towards the beach it’s got more stuff for the kids to do outside of the house.

Yes too much craziness during Christmas. I try to start early and put things away.

@VivaLaDani13 thanks!

@ShyBear88 Wise thing to do I reckon! Good luck.

I don’t know about reading it every day but I’m sure she will like to and read it.

@tech40 they don’t have a phone. They have to share my iPads during the school and summer on educational apps that are approved. They have several apps they enjoy doing math and reading on or drawing a little picture.

Well. That's better that they will spend there time reading book than spending it using phones

Thank you! I’m trying to save where I can and we only get the kids 4 presents so we don’t go cray like some parents do.

@moffittjc nope!

@ShyBear88 I agree. There's no reason to go overboard with presents.

What do you me by our everything to the correct use?

@ShyBear88 I mean to put your points to the right use as in to what you did getting your daughter a present finding sth constructive of it rather than wasting it over a mere game or sth ....duh she seems to hate me already

@Loverabbit it was either save the points up for a gift or save it up for a gift card but the points to pick and items in a search tends to be lower then a gift card. My kids love games. We are getting them Mouse trap this year they have been wanting it for a while and it’s a board game. They like playing guess who and connect 4. Board games are a must during the winter months a lot of time is spent inside. Fall is coming in a few weeks so they are soaking up what last of are warm sunny days we can get.

She doesn’t always like reading since she has dyslexia but she does read often enough that books are a good gift.

@Aansh13 that they are

@ShyBear88 Very True.... Books are great gift

My children are 8, 7, and 4 year old. I think books are great st any age because you can never really have to many. Once the kids have master one book I do donate it if it hasn’t been through the mill of the other two too much.
