“Where’s my present?” my friend’s goddaughter asked by way of welcome. My friend handed over said gift; the newly-three-year-old unwrapped it and promptly threw it on the floor. Tumbleweed blew through the corridor. In fact, the only person who didn’t find the situation excruciating was the gift recipient.
You may well have witnessed similar scenes yourself at children’s parties or, indeed, on Christmas Day. You may fear you’re bringing up a spoilt child: no one aspires to raise a Violet Beauregarde rather than a Charlie; a Dudley rather than a Harry Potter. But if your child has chosen today to show their displeasure towards carefully chosen gifts, take a pause before you start worrying if they’re entitled.
