Why you should ditch the Santa wish list
Have you ever noticed that at this time of year, many people will start a conversation with your child asking, “What do you want for Christmas?” or “What are you going to ask Santa to get you?” Perhaps you ask them the same questions?!
Asking our children to write out a Christmas wish list is often a thing we seem to get them to do. We don’t give it a second thought.
Well this year, Remindables is changing that up and bringing out a new list.
Thinking of Others Gift List
We want to help our children learn to think about others so we’ve created this FREE Downloadable for you to use with your child.
Why - what’s the big deal?
It helps them to stop and notice another person’s likes and interests
It will encourage them to ask ‘wondering’ questions to others in order to find out more about them
It encourages them to then act on those ideas and create/buy/make something for someone else
This list helps our children be actively involved in the gift planning that happens at this time of year, learning the art of thinking about others. Helping to create giving, thoughtful and considerate little people!
