The economic crisis we are going through has consequences in all sectors and, of course, will affect the most consumerist date of the year, Christmas.
What are these consequences? On the one hand, that the Christmas campaign begins increasingly early. At the beginning of November we are already encouraged to buy the gifts because if we buy before it will not be cheaper, which is true. On the other, that this year the Kings will bring the lightest bags, that is, that we will buy less toys.
It can be said that the latter is one of the positive consequences of the crisis and that will help to avoid, or at least minimize, the syndrome of the “hyper-gifted child”, is said of the minor who receives such a quantity of gifts that he ends up not valuing any. Sounds to you, right?
Toy makers believe that this year there will be fewer gifts, but they will be of better quality. Of course, for the toy makers it is not good news, but parents should be happy, because in addition to saving money on toys that are then archived at the bottom of the chest, we contribute to educating less consumerist children.
The psychologist Cristina Ramírez-Roa, creator of the term “hyper-gifted child” believes it serves to reduce children "individualists, isolated, consumerist and little interested in using imagination in their games".
Some of us will provide for the good effects of the crisis, which, as you can see, there are.
