Children's gift-giving

Children's gift-giving is a developmentally meaningful activity that fosters social skills, empathy, and generosity. As children grow, they learn to select and present gifts that reflect understanding of others’ interests, often motivated by the desire to please or show appreciation. This practice helps develop emotional awareness and strengthens relationships. While children may initially select gifts impulsively or based on personal preference, over time they learn to consider others' preferences and feelings, making gift-giving a valuable aspect of social and moral development. It also encourages reciprocity, patience, and a sense of community.
