008: How to Host a No-Presents Birthday
When it comes to toys, less is more. Researchers agree: time and time again, studies find that children are more imaginative and focused when surrounded by fewer toys.
This year, I’m throwing my daughter a party that’s heavy on fun and light on gifts. It’s a No-Presents Birthday.
As parents, it’s our job to fight back against the culture of consumerism that surrounds us. It’s on us to say enough is enough, because our kids have neither the wisdom nor the maturity to discern hype from reality. They need us to do it for them.
If you’ve ever thought about hosting a No-Presents Birthday for your child, this episode’s for you, because I reveal 8 alternatives to a present-heavy celebration. I also divulge the blueprint I’m following as I create my daughter’s own gift-free party.
