Ma kēia makahiki, ua hala ke keiki palekana, ua'ōpio ke keiki, ua hanaʻo ia i nā kūlana palekana ma ke ola. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi aku i kekahi lā hānau i kekahi mau lole, he mea makemake e hōʻike i kahi mea e hōʻoia i ke kūlana koʻikoʻi o ka hikiʻana o ka makahiki.
He aha kaʻu e hāʻawi aku ai i kaʻu keiki no 18 mau makahiki?
ʻO ka hāʻawi kālā i loko o kahi enveloppala he ala kū'ē ia eʻoluʻolu ai i kou hoʻoilina. ʻAʻole loa lākou e lilo i waiwai no ia, akā,ʻaʻole lākou e lilo i makana maikaʻi loa. ʻO kekahi mea e hōʻike i kahi kālā nui i kekahi kūʻai,ʻo ia ka palena o nā moe a kāu keiki. Inā kokoke i ka makahiki 18 i loaʻa ka kālā no kekahi kūʻai kūʻai, akā,ʻaʻole lawa i ke kālā e hele i ka hale kūʻai, a laila,ʻo ka kōkua kālā i kēia mea e waiwai nui loa ia. Hiki i ka manawa ke loaʻa iā ia ma ka hōʻailona a hoʻokipa i nā mea a pau ma ka papaʻaina.
ʻOiai, nui ka manaʻo o nā mākua, a ke manaʻo nei nā keiki i ka hopohopo nui, akā,ʻaʻole e hiki i nā mea a pau ke hāʻawi i ka maikaʻi o ka motika kaʻa a kaʻa paha. ʻO ka loaʻaʻana o nā mea loea maʻamau aʻoi aku ka mea kūʻai aku i nāʻoihana loea hou - laptops, smartphones , mea kani maikaʻi, he mea paʻi kiʻi, he computer hoʻonohonoho, he mea pāʻani hoihoi. Ma ke ala, hiki i ka hapanui o nā mea i kākauʻia no kāu hoʻoilina ma ke kula a ma kahi hana paha. No laila,ʻo kēlā makana i kāna keiki i ka lā hānau mai 18 mai kahi makua aloha mai,ʻaʻole ia he waiwai wale nō, akā he hana nui nō hoʻi.
Ma kēia lā,ʻo nā mākua mālama maka, ka mea e pono ai ke kūʻaiʻana ma mua, e ho'āʻo e hoʻoholo i ka pono o kahi keiki makua. Inā he mea hula nuiʻo ia,ʻo ka mea kupaianaha loa o kona makuahineʻo ia ka tikika no kahi'ahamele o kāna hui aloha. Hiki i nā Bibliophiles, philatelists a iʻole nā kāpena'ē aʻe ka hauʻoli i ka loaʻaʻana o kahi mea kiko'ī kūpono e hoʻonui i kā lākou hōʻiliʻili i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe. ʻO nā mea e pili ana i kaʻike e like me ka hoʻopili kālā hoʻopili a iʻole ka pai i paiʻia ma ka'ōlelo punahele. I ka nīnau, he aha ka makana maikaʻi loa e hāʻawi ai i kāu keikikāne i nā makahiki he 18, hiki iāʻoe ke hōʻike i ka noʻonoʻo a me ke akamai. Akā,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, i ka liloʻana o ke kūʻai i mea makemake loa no ke keiki, e kōkua nō ia e hoʻokō i kāna mau hana lōʻihi.
