I was reading the UK version of the magazine Psychologies earlier this week and there was a question answered that I would like to share with you.
Here's an excerpt from the article titled 'How Much Is Too Much?'
Q Should Christmas gifts be a reward for good behaviour or good marks at school?
A Exchanging gifts at Christmas is one of the few rituals we have left and it shouldn't be carried out on a conditional basis. There are many situations more suited to disciplining children or rewarding good behaviour than a day of celebration. Christmas is a day to come together as a family and it's wiser to use this situation to teach a child about the pleasure of giving and receiving.
I agree with that viewpoint. What are your thoughts?
