"For children and parents, receiving should not be about the actual receiving but rather about learning the delicate skill of being gracious," says Megan Jordan, a mother of three from Gulfport, Mississippi and editor-in-chief of BlogNosh. "So what if your kid has a million toys and you'd rather her guests donate to the Humane Society? I'm betting your kid could use some honing of her 'receiving' skills. And yeah, that may mean receiving her fortieth My Little Pony. Deal with it, kid. And do it by showing gratitude and thankfulness even though you already have nine of that color."
