\"Gift<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the holidays upon us it\u2019s easy to fall back on the latest gadget to gift teens or young adults. And, while that isn\u2019t necessarily a bad idea, we\u2019d like to offer some suggestions for non-tech gifts to give. We also encourage you to challenge your kids’ tech-heavy wish list by asking them what non-electronic items they might want, or prompt siblings, grandparents, and other family members to purchase items that don’t involve a screen.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tickets \u2013 Does your daughter love musicals? Is your son\u2019s favorite band playing in your area in the next few months? Tickets to go to an event make a great holiday gift, and create memories along the way. Even better \u2013 get tickets for the two of you (or your entire family!) to do something together.<\/li>\n
  2. Memory book \u2013 While young children are known to love looking at pictures of themselves, older children actually do too! Think of all those posts they make on social media \u2026 and use it to your advantage. Make a printable memory book to capture the highlights of their year.<\/li>\n
  3. Take a Trip \u2013 Whether you plan something large, like a family trip to the Bahamas, or something small scale like camping, a vacation together is a great way to make memories. You can make it extra fun by buying something to indicate where you\u2019re going \u2013 like a new tent or sleeping bag, or snorkel gear. To make it extra fun you can add a scratch-off map to their gift pile so they can start to track all the cool places they\u2019ve seen!<\/li>\n
  4. Lessons \u2013 has your teen or young adult wanted to try something but you haven\u2019t been willing to spring for the cost of the lessons? The holidays are a great time to give them 2-3 months worth of lessons to let them try something new \u2013 from horseback riding to guitar lessons \u2013 the world is theirs for the exploring!<\/li>\n
  5. Accessories \u2013 Teens and young adults want to be unique. Have they had their eye on a certain pair of shoes? Maybe they like funky socks? A new make up kit? Or maybe they want a new accessory for their room \u2013 like a light box for messages or a framed picture of their favorite sports team\u2019s stadium.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We hope that gift giving this holiday season makes meaningful memories with your family! If your teen or young adult child is having a hard time with the holiday season, call Tamara Ancona, MA, LPC at (678) 297-0708 for an evaluation, and to discuss the best treatment options available.<\/p>\n
