Gift for (own) child leaving primary

[scissorsandsellotape]

Did you get yours one?
If so what?

@HoppingPavlova mind boggling? Seriously get a grip! It’s not unusual for children to receive rewards for achieving things. Even schools reward children for demonstrating good behaviour or having 100% attendance etc. I forget MN parents never treat their children or even buy them Christmas presents 🙄 seriously makes me laugh! If you want to treat your child and can afford to why not? It’s not hurting anyone. There have been some lovely personal gifts given that don’t cost a fortune but even if they do it’s completely up to the parents.

I brought home takeaway pizza on her last day.

Nothing. What for?

I bought my daughter a laptop, she needed one for secondary school anyway so bought it her as an end of primary school present.

We just contributed to the Leaver's party - about £30. It was a great send off - nothing else needed.

We did a day out when SATS were over as she really struggled with anxiety and celebrated that the chaos was over.

I also did a memory teddy out of her school fleece. He is sitting now on top of the shelving unit in her room.
