People often give gifts to each other. It can be some kind of thing in honor of the holiday or just a memorable trinket. However, small children like to give gifts most of all.
How to receive a gift from a child for adults
A ritual such as receiving a gift is most often performed at any event in your life. Both adults and children give gifts. If, when receiving a present from friends and girlfriends, you always know what to say and how to react to it, you should behave a little differently when receiving a gift from a child.
Children are always sincere and spontaneous, and at their age they expect these qualities from you. Receive a gift from your child personally, because your reaction to his first attempts at giving gifts is very important to him.
Even if this is a child unfamiliar to you, you should devote your time to the child, because the memories of this can remain with the child for a long time. What kind of memories they will be, you decide.
Rules for receiving a gift from children
Firstly, when receiving a gift, the first step is to praise the child, smile at him and say that you are very pleased. Think back to your experience of giving gifts to adults. For some, it was a fear of being ridiculed or misunderstood. Grievances against adults in childhood are great.
Secondly, there is no need to put any boundaries between your own and other people's children. Especially if they are all together at this event. Treat all children equally, talk to them, treat everyone with the same sweets. Children's jealousy is boundless, it can arise from a trifle: the wrong candy offered or the wrong compliment to them.
Some children can easily voice their grievances, while others can harbor resentments.
As soon as you receive a present, remember that you need to open the gift with its small donor, because the child expects a positive reaction from you to his efforts. Even if it is just a drawing or a children's applique, the child worked hard and tried to do everything with his own hands.
Do not forget that you serve as an example for children, they learn everything not only from their parents, but also from other adults who surround them.
Do not discuss gifts from other children or adults in front of children, be a good example for all kids. After all, everything is laid down in childhood: any experience, positive and negative. The difference is that the positive experience received from adults will bring joy and goodness in the future, while the negative one may well become the cause of many children's complexes, which will later pass into adulthood.
