It is said that the best things in life are free (and indeed they are). As you consider the best of gifts for your children, I want to introduce you to gifts that will not cost a penny and that will open the fountain of happiness and unlock unlimited potential in your child. These are the things that we can give simply by being alert to the way that we live our lives and the way we raise our children, remembering that even the slightest influence goes a long way in shaping their future. You will be a present and conscious parent as you do the following: - Strive to set an example that models what you would want for your child - Encourage the cultivation of qualities that are guaranteed to ensure your child's happiness - Invest time in being a parent to your child This piece of work will save you from seeing in hindsight what you could have and should have done to ensure your children find happiness as they grow and when they are grown. You will know the gifts that matter and give them when it matters!
