So we've talked on the podcast about building your child's confidence by showing off their natural

talents for tinkering and building things. So I've got a great Thanksgiving idea. Take a KiwiCo project

that your kids can put together with relatives. It will let your kids shine and feel successful.

Because unlike passive toys, KiwiCo crates put the fun directly

in your kids' hands, turning curiosity into something they can build, create, and be proud of.

Plus KiwiCo projects, get your kids off screens and spark wonder. Look, the best gifts

doing the right thing. Look, naturally compliant kids, just do what you say. But you have a child

who waits until the last minute, pushes the limits, and argues relentlessly, and it's hard.
