Ten years is a turning point in children's lives.It is at this age that a child stops being interested in ordinary toys (girls - dolls, boys - construction sets and cars), but has not yet found a new hobby for themselves. Therefore, it is very important to take the choice of a gift for your child seriously. Today, for his birthday, you just give him a chess set, a camera or an encyclopedia about animals. Perhaps, by doing so, you will help him decide on a hobby or even a future profession in the future.
Universal gift
There is a category of things that can begive to children, regardless of gender. In this case, the value of the thing plays a leading role, not the cost. Remember, it is not necessary to buy very expensive gifts. The main thing is that the gift will be useful even in the distant future. Spend large sums only when the baby cannot do without something, and you can easily afford to buy it. Expensive things
- The tablet
First, you need to figure out why you need it.a schoolchild a tablet. If he plans to play during breaks (or rather during lessons) and watch movies, then there is no point in buying such an expensive device. You can’t do without this device if your child is constantly traveling. He will be able to call you on Skype, send a letter or just read a book on the train.
- Mobile phone
This is perhaps the best gift.Your child is 10 years old and he/she is always staying late with friends after school? You can always call him/her to find out what he/she is doing. At a younger age, a schoolchild does not yet understand the value of things, so he/she treats them carelessly. You hardly want your child's mobile phone to be used by the whole class. As for the cost of the gift, it is better to choose from the middle price category. A device that is too simple is not prestigious, and too expensive is too early. After all, the main function of a phone is to make calls. Video, music, games and other entertainment are secondary.
- A computer
For the first two years, schoolchildren are taught to write by hand.But in senior classes, teachers no longer accept essays and some works in written form. They require that everything be printed. If you don’t want your child to bring home bad grades, buy him or her a computer or laptop now. Those who are afraid that their children will play too much should choose weak devices. The main thing is that they can run office programs. And you can block some Internet sites.
- Camera
A professional camera, unfortunately, costsnot cheap. But if you want your little one to take pictures, you'll have to spend a little. But you shouldn't buy a regular point-and-shoot camera. In a month or two, this gift will be lying on the far shelf in the closet.
- Music player

Various encyclopedias, adventure novels,Magazines and comics – all of this is interesting for children at such a young age. Just don’t buy books from the school curriculum or textbooks. When choosing a gift, rely on your child’s tastes. What interested you at 10 years old, he may not like.
- Musical instruments

What not to give to children for their birthday
There is a separate category of objects and things,which should never be given to a child. For example, you can't give him a lot of money. He can spend it as he wants: treat friends, buy trinkets. But his decision will seem wrong to you, which will cause a scandal. You also shouldn't buy clothes. A sweater, dress, panties, socks, trousers - this is good, but the child is unlikely to be happy. This also includes school supplies. If you want to buy a new backpack or pencil case, do not say that it is a gift. Personal hygiene products are prohibited. Soap, shampoo, washcloth, shower gel - this goes without saying. You hardly want to be given detergent and washing powder for your birthday.
