The winter holidays seem to equate to money spent on gifts, though it’s mostly about religion and symbols. Children are waiting for Santa Claus, and videos are playing on television that the holidays are a “money gap”.

There are many families without financial means, and children clearly want something, regardless of whether they believe in Santa Claus or not.

Basically, over time, the child feels whether the family can give him the desired gift or not. “He knows what the family context is,” said Ana Batka, coach and founder of Parenting 2.0, during the Over Coffee discussion.

“You, as a parent, no matter how low your income is, I believe you can give your child a gift, even a symbolic one. More than an expensive toy, the magic of the holiday, being with the family, is important for a child,” Batke said.

According to her, if parents manage to create this magic, then this gift will be much more expensive for the child than getting an iPad, I don’t know what mobile phone, etc.
