This holiday season, I am attempting the \u201cFour Gift Rule\u201d for my two children. What is this rule you ask? Instead of a myriad of presents, moms and dads gift their child only four things: something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read. Whether you decide to follow this rule to the letter, or simple use it as a guide during your holiday shopping, look no further for your little one\u2019s \u201cSomething to Read.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
