What's the best gift a parent can give to their child?

If we're talking about big concepts, I would say patience. The patience to actually sit down and listen to your child when he/she has an issue that they can't quite communicate is a true gift. If we're talking presents, then I would say anything that can help them working with their hands. A lot of people might give train sets and building blocks to boys and not girls but I say both should have the chance to learn to build things. I'm really quite thankful that my parents gave me a lot of lego sets to play with, and it's something I would like to pass down to my children too :)
