[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to do that when DCs were young because there is no real difference between enriching material and toys. I wanted them to have these things right away -- example, my DC got into puzzles, I wanted to get her more puzzles. They change so much in a few months that it would not be good 6 months later. I think that's fine when they're young and don't have much sense of time and holidays anyway. Now they're older and I do try to limit to Christmas and birthdays. The presents are now what they ask for -- and they can wait a few months until birthday to get it. But I'll buy them books throughout the year. [/quote] This. Every once in a blue moon I may see something small I think they'd like and get it, but for the most part they have to wait. My mom on the other hand....but she lives far away and I think it helps her feel connected to them. [/quote]
