As the holidays are approaching make sure that you are teaching your children the importance of people and not just things.

You could still get things via online shopping. However, online meet-ups and telephone calls could not replace the desire for face-to-face interactions.

Set an example for your children and include them in the fun of giving experiences! Below are some experience gift ideas for children and families by Big Life Journal:
