What should we get for our kids this holiday? As children get older, giving them something they can experience instead of material things makes them happier, according to a new research led by Chaplin.

The research compared the level of happiness children get from material things with that from experiences. The results showed that children aged 3-12 get more happiness from material things than from experiences. However, older children get more happiness from experiences than from their possessions.

"It means experiences are highly preferred by adolescents, not just expensive material things, like some might think, "Chaplin says. She goes on to explain, "Don't get me wrong. Young children do love experiences. And given this concept, theme parks such as Disneyland are being built everywhere. In fact, young children are excited throughout the experience. However, for experiences to provide lasting happiness, children must be able to recall details of the events. "

Long after they have unwrapped their Legos and stuffed animals, there will still be a physical reminder to give them happiness. However, young children can't see or touch experiences after they are over, making it harder for them to appreciate experiences after a long time. There's an easy fix, though, according to Chaplin.

"Take pictures or videos of family walks, playing in the snow, and birthday parties, "she said. "Children are likely to appreciate those experiences more if there is something to remind them of the event. Additionally, they'll be able to learn the social value of shared experiences. "

Children will remember and appreciate not only the birthday gifts they received, but also the time spent with family and friends as they recall the experience through concrete reminders such as photos and videos.

Since memory is developed over time, it's likely that children, especially young ones, may not get as much happiness from past experiences as from possessions. But with age, creating new memories and exploring new interests may be far more valuable than getting possessions.
