Parenting
A child psychologist explains how 'tap in, tap out' works.

Who can blame them for being so excited?
"Anyone know how to get blood off a Christmas tree?"
"I’ll always believe that no matter how plentiful the gifts under the tree and no matter how thrilling our children find their contents, the present isn’t ultimately the point."
"‘Have you been good? Are you on the naughty list? He won’t bring you anything if you aren’t good."
Instead of twisting yourself in knots to hide reality from your child, talking with them honestly about death is an opportunity for learning and growth.
