Aging is important to the Young

Birthdays are very important, very, very important to little ones, to be 4, is massive, to be 5 even bigger and so it goes on. 

I would always have a beautifully wrapped box with a lid called the “Birthday Box”, in there would be both little take home toys and sweets.  I would also keep a stash of birthday cards that I would quickly write out to little Johnny or Milly!

Singing

Before morning tea my right hand woman would always remind me whose birthday it was and we would all sing happy birthday to the child.  This is one of the few times that little ones do sing, so encourage it!
