[quote=Anonymous]What did they do last year? The year before? We make birthdays a big thing. Not necessarily presents but effort. So we start early and the little ones make cards and crafts a week or so in advance for whichever parent or grandparent. And then they really enjoy when the birthday person opens it and admires and thanks them. I grew up like that too. Parents put in a big effort (not Pinterest) into a card with a poem or song. And it was a big thing for me to reciprocate. You can't expect it to just happen from nowhere. Teaching empathy and showing people you love them during their special days takes time. [/quote]
